NOTE As it is probable, that Mr. Swinyard’s associates will 





desire him to hold an important relation ‘to the management 
of the Canadian Company it is assumed that that Company will 


pay hima salary. 


This project excludes the District of Montreal for light ing

have been associated with Mr Hearle in his applications to 
the American ‘Company an opportunity to take 


per cent of the stock of the Company to be formed. 


7. The Canadian Company to receive:- 
(1) An exclusive manufacturing license, and to agree to in- 
vest at once at least $100,000. in a factory, exclusive 


of real estate.

minion, except Montreal.

8 All these licenses and contracts to be upon the same general 
terms and conditions (except as to price) as are imposed upon 
‘Companies in the United States, and of which the contract 


with the Chicago Compeny may be taken as an example. 


9 The Canadian Company is to be bound to start at least two

Mr. Swinyard to have until October lst 1882 for completeing 
such an organization and raising at least $100,000. in cash 
for the manufacturing business, and $25,000. to be paid to 


the American Company on or before that date.

1882. Electric Light - Foreign - Europe (D-82-038) 


This folder contains correspondence, agreements, articles of incorporation, 
and other documents relating to the establishment of Edison electric light 
companies in Europe. Much of the correspondence is by Joshua F. Bailey, Edison's 
agent in Europe, and by Charles Batchelor, who was in France as Edison's personal 
representative. Many of the documents deal with three Edison companies 
incorporated in France in 1882: the Societe Electrique Edison, which built central 
Stations in France; the Compagnie Continentale Edison, which organized and 
licensed light companies throughout continental Europe; and the Societe 
Industrielle et Commerciale Edison, which was the European counterpart of the 
Edison manufacturing companies in the United States. Other documents concern 
the installation of electric lighting at the Brunn Theater in Munich. Also included 
is a plan of the Edison exhibit in Munich. Related material can be found in D-82- 
028 (Electric Light - Edison Electric Light Company of Europe, Ltd. - General) and 
in the Primary Printed Collection (Company Records Series). 


Approximately 50 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following 
categories of documents have not been filmed: correspondence regarding orders of 
goods and shipping instructions; bills; duplicate copies of correspondence; copies of 
cable messages filmed in Letterbook, LM-001 (Letterbook Series).

(COPY) a AAD shy aac Fee a 
Via Queenstown: 
Grosvenor P.Lowrey, Esq, 


3 Broad St., New York. 
Paris, - January, 6th, 1882. 


.Dear Sir: -- 
I wrote you the 19th of December, and enclose copy 
of.the letter. (The above mentioned copy hus been sent to you 


already ubout @ week ago. } 


I have got since yours of 19th and 23rd Dee., 
I must confess you that on the receipt of Chess letters I was in 
a very bad humour. That is the reason why I, did not reply to you 
immediately. The wedeuns of my bad humour were the following: 

(1). It was only according to your desire 
that I wrote to Mr. Edison himself. © coaboce, I was astonished 
wae to get a personal answer from him. We in France are not 
accustomed to this mode of, doing. 

(2) Your cable told me that the Newabe I 


sent ‘to you would be sent back by next steamer, and these powers 











have not yet been sent forward todays, 

. In order to spare considerable sums of expen 
ses of ~~enregistrement--, it is absolutely necessary that the 
powers ionea by Mr Edison and the Light Company contain the 
words <= a apporter a une Societé les brevets de Monsieur Edison--— 
because thie term oe apporter-~ is the only one which would 
exempt us from paying the duty upon the cession of the patents. 
Any other term: -- ceder-- or -~ transferer -- obliges us to 
make this payment. 

Now you see what a sheacuenseié and precious 
time your friends make us lese by their hesitutions. These hes- 
itations can only be the effect of a want of confidence in myself 
and in Messrs. Batchelor and Bailey for whom the powers ure des- 
tined. 

(3) You first accepted the shares that I 
reserved for you; by your second telegram you refuse them T 
was therefore obliged to refuse shares to many people that asked 
them and to offer them a fortnight later, which has produced a 


very bad effect. 





I hope, dear Sir, that you will find the 


sons for my bad humour sufficiently serious, and remain, 


Yours truly, 


Charles Porges.

I have the honor of confirming my letter of the goth inst.

divided into 400 shares of fr. 2500each; 

SIXTH. Shares of the Societe Industrielle et Gommer 
ciale Edison, a French joint stock company with a capital of fr. 
1,500,000, divided into 3,000 shares of fr.500 each; 

SEVENTH. Shares of the Societe Electrique Edison, a 
French joint stock company with a capital of fr.1,000,000, divided 
into 2,000 shares of fr.5Q0 each. 

The ENTSON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY was formed for the pur- 
pose of exploiting Mr Edison’s system of electric lighting on the 
American continent. Tt is @ parent company for America. Tt 
will form local isaucanius. Roe electric lighting of the different 
cities of North and South America. Tt has already given birth 
to the EDISON ELECTRIC ILLUNTNATTNG COMPANY OF NEW ¥ORK and to the 
EDISON GOMPANY FOR TSOLATED LIGHTING. 

The EDISON ELECTRIC ILLUMINATING COMPANY OF NEW YORK, as 
it name indicates, was founded for the purpose of lighting the 
city of New Vork by the Raison system It has paid to the Edison 
Electric Light Company for its license 35 per cent of its res 
that is to gay 8350),000 of which $100,000 cash, and $250,000 shares, 
It is calculated that it will be necessary for this company to 
raise its capital to $10,000,000 for the purpose of lighting New 
York by the Edison system. In ng? anes it will have to pay. 
to the ENTSON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY 35 per cent of the additional 
eqapital to which it can be increased. This company the ILLUMINAT- 


ING COMPANY OF NEW YORK, has been empowered by the Municipal 


Council of New york to lay its wires in the streets of that city.

The canalization has been finished for a distance of about eight 
kilometers in the following streets: Peck Slip, Spruce, William, 
Ann, and Cliff and wires have been laid in fifteen hundred houses, 
At this moment steam engines, boilers, and dynamo-e electric mach- 
ines are being put up in the central station, Pearl St., situated 
about the middle of the first district taken in hand by the company. 
The EDiSON COMPANY FOR TSOLATED LIGHTING has for its 
object the installation of iscoluted plant . That is to say, to 
light country seats, isolated factories, small localities and cit- 
ies where there are no eentral syst ems. This company recently 
formed has installed up to the 17th.of January 35 plants with 
5000 lamps in New York and different points in the Unit ed States. 
The EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY OF EUROPE (LIMITED } 
was formed for the purpose of exploiting the Edison system of 
electric lighting in the following countries * France and her col- 
onies, Belgium, Denmark, cereay Austro-Hungary, Russis, Italy 
and Sprain (Spanish colonies except ed). It is avparent company 
for the_above countries. Tt has Created’. 

. FIRST. The Compagnie Continentale Edison which, after 
reimbursing its capital will pay to it 80 per cent of the net prom 
fits: 2nd. The Societe Industrielle et Commerciale Edison 
which after deduction of an annual provision for retiring its 
capital, will pay to it 50 per cent of the net profits; and 

THTRD. THE SOCIETE ELECTRIQUE ENTSON which after re- 


imbursement of its Capital will! pay to it 60 per Cent of the net. 


profits. If requested I will pive further and complete information 





4 


The COMPAGNIE CONTTNENTALE EDTSON was formed for exploit- 


ting the Edison: sytem of electric lighting in the Companies above 


designated. Its place is to take out patents not yet delivered 

to sell them and to grant licenses. To a Certain degree this ¢gn- 
pany is a transformation into a French Sompanyy - of the American 
Company, viz The Edison Electric Light Company of Europe (limited) 
As far ag Concerns the countries above cited it is also a@ parent 
company. Out of Wi proceed all companies which will undertake 
by means of the Rdisun system to light up the different cities of 
France and foreign countries covered by incon e, this direction 

the progress of the Compagnie Continentale Edison in France and 
elsewhere are already considerable. It would be indiscreet for me 
at this moment to expatiate further on the present point. T 

will recur to it hereafter. 

The Societe Industrielle et Commerciale Edgson has for 
its object the manufacture and sale of all apparatus necessary for 
electric lighting by the Edison sy tem; that is to say of dynamo- 
‘electro machines, tubes, Ndison lamps healt weeugi ca at present 
an important factory at Ivry-on~the-~Seine which Will turn out 
very soon 500 lamps a day; as well as the number of dyasme 
electric machines to run them. 

The Societe Electrique Edison has for its object the in- 
jeaiteticn of isolated plants pg for electric lighting by the 
etieen system in country seats ,isolated factories and localities 
with a population less than 10,000 and in cities where a central 


system shall not have been established. 


These three French companies were formed under the auspi-

ces and by the efforts of the @entral Bank of Commerce and Tndustry 
a joint stock company with a capital of fr. 25,000,000, -12, 500,000 
paid up and which has Mr Charles Porges as President. There were 

no (apport )shares issued; the capital of the three companies 
Was a total of fr. 3,500,000, an actual paid up cash capital. 
Edison’s electric lighting has entered into our finane ial Markets. 
Tt has been received by a well known, group who without noise or 
appeals te the public has itself subseribed and paid in the fr, 
3,500,000 required to commence lighting France and the rest of the 
continent of Europe with the Edison Electric Light. T say "com- 
mence” because the capital engaged in the struggle between electré 
lighting and gas lighting, will in a very short time be counted by 
tens and hundreds of millions. 

The exploitation in -fnyland, Portugal, Sweden and Norway 
has not ~t been und=rtaken by joint stock cvumpanies. An eminent 
banking house with whom Mr Edison has treated for those countries 
has desired to practically dauicnweraes in England kha before 
anidressing themselves to the public that the Fdison Electric Light 
System can successfully compete with gas in a country where gag 
costs least (the price being 15 cgnimes the cubic meter while in 
France it costs double that amount ). For that purpose an instal-- 
lation has been made by private capital in London at Holborn Via- 
duct where 1,300 lmps light the streets, stores, offices and even 
@ church . We expect useful information in the near future from 


this sourcee 


To sum up all, of the above named securities the one

which most rrecommends itself to both.speculator and capitalist 


is, in my opinion, the shares of the Edison Hlectriec Light dom- 


“pany of Europe {Limited )j and this T hold for two reasons; first, 
ere el 
4 to these shares will accrue a large part of the profits to be real- 


4 ized by the Edison lighting on the European Continent; and bee- 


gl of 
Pays “ause the Furopean Continent being the field Raxxkkx exploitation 
G ae 
vA eDjby this company, it is here in Europe,and not in New vork ary longer, 





4 be : 
oe 





ty beer it E3(by reason of the facilities or trammels that the Edison 
4 . 

, io ee, 
Ss s lighting will encounter in its progress on our cont inent) that xNEk 
ot eh ee x 
/§ fits quotations will from day to day be determined. Tts natural 


uarket is then Europe,and especially France,which,by means of the 
contracts entered into between the Porges group and the Edilson 
Rlectric Light Company of Europe {Limited), has become the head of 
the European Continental Combination es far as coneerns the Edison 
light ing. 

Thus, as I have above indicated,there exist twenty thou 
sand of these shares, of which some hundreds have already crossed 
the Atlantic and have come on the market at par,and even above par, 
and found their way into very strong hands. There are about one 
thousand to fifteen hundred floating shares which could be had at 
this moment in the neighborhood of par. I am of opinion that as 
soon as these hyve—been placed,these shares will rise to a very 
high Pieines 

T will recur to this security. In the meantime 


T beg to solicit the favor of your orders for buying and selling 


electric light securities. Very respectfully,

Berlin. June 25. 1882. 


Unter den Linden 40. I 


Major Eaton, 
Vv. P. Edison Electric Light Co. 

New York. _ 
Dear Sir:- 

‘In compliance with a request of Mr. Batchelor, I take 
Breaeure to make the following communications concerning the 
Lighting of the cellars and malthouse of a brewery. It is 
about the installation at the “*Boehenisches Brauhaus” at Berlin. 


mend, are three eae malt germing cellars which have 


= 


to be kept at a low temperature and gas as a lighting agent is 


therefore inadmissible, The sunlight is excluded from these 

cellars, which are only in use during 8 months of the year, 

there Solin ns mate made during the summer months. ' Heretofore 

only candles gobs dvadlanie for lighting. I installed in the 

peewee an experimental plant with B mashine and 220 8 lamps which 

have to be kept in use night and day. Very little light is 

needed for pebetng ‘purposes and I have therefore only 15 B lamps 

in a space of Bbew 1500 square meters of floor surface,, or. 1 

B atip for 100 Sq. meters of floor surface. _The lamps must 

be “arranged so as to turn’ on or oft by means of a switch placed 

against the wall or in the RBOERE? way to avoid PESPPsne. on the 
mates The lamps are suspended from “the: ceiting in. the ardin ary 

MAT downwards e without shades, the oe Whi towashed arched coil~y. 


ing. making 3 a very geod reflector. This mode. of i giviog nee pow 











ed to be satisfactory for all the work to be done in the malthouse. 
The task of Lighting the fermenting and storage cellars 
was however more difficult. A temperature not Seasbaiue 4° 
centegr. must - maintained continually, the walls are wet and the 
carbonic acid, discharged from the fermenting beer acts on the 
ordinary insulation of wires; all iron parts in sockets especially 
so the Little Berens and rollers on the stopcock should be avoided, 
rust putting an end to their usefullness within a few days. The 
plaster part on the lamps must be thoroughly japanned or shellacked 
lest the dampness, absorbed by the plaster will soon corrode 
and destroy the little copper conducting wires of the lamp. 
For main conductors I used the ordinary NO. 10 wire with cotton 
and whitelead insulation but fastened to poreniiaiy insulating | 
brackets so as not to touch the damp walls, lead. covered double 
conductor cables being used for branches running to the lamps. 
I will now describe the kind of lighting and the 
special fixtures needed in the fermenting cellars. A few 
B mica were placed hai and there for general lighting of the 
Weswages: Then there is a necessity for an almost absolutely 
portable amp as the light is used all over to replace ne jeandles. 
The most ‘important opetaston in the * fermenting cellar is “tub wash- 
ing" a Son: requiring great eare and a good light These tubs 
fill the whole cellar and are mouse about four feet from the 
floor with gang planks between tiem: . To make our Lamps suitable 
to all these different Hegnsrements, I placed our ‘ordinary square 


cut out cleats somewhat modified in small cast iron boxes, Peo 


vided with a door with rubber packing, in sufficiont numbers: all 


Oo ccc tee og et at nbn 9 onan A 








over the cellar, a proper distance apart. The rubber packing 
is to keep dampness from the contacts while the connection hox 

is not in use. Six lanterns with a B lamp in each were 

made for each cellar and a stout rubber tube 5 or 6 meters long 
by 5-8 inch outside diameter with good flexible double conductor 
inside was attached to each lamp; the end which is connected to 
the above mentioned cut out cleat is provided with a modified form 
of our ordinary cut out plug, by means of which the coniucting 
cord is attached to the connection box. It is essential that 
the rubber tube is well cemented in ths long wooden handle of the 
plug and also well secured at the lamp so that no strain will be 
on the conducting wires tgnuaives but only on the tube. The 


sketch will help to explain the device. 





The lamp is provided with a hook so that it can be hung on the tub. 
The socket is surrounded by a tin collar so that the lamp can be 


reversed and set on the floor for washing the bottom side of the 


tub. Two stout iron wires soldered over the lamp form 
a guard against breakage. These wires must be far enough apart 
s0 as to admit of an exchange of lamps. Whenever a workman need, 


light in any part of the sellar he attaches a lamp with conduc ting 


cord at the most convenient connection box. This mode of light- 


ing met the approval of the cellar master and the Director of

the Brewery. 
For the storage cellars similar connection boxes are 
used but here it is necessary that all the boxes should be sunk 
in the brickwork so as to be out of the way in putting up or 
taking down the large barrels. There is a middle passage in 
cellars 
the storage,to the right and left ofxwhich are a number 
of sub-divisions called “sections.” The barrels are stored 
in 7 tev and built up three high to the ceiling. Light is 
used for 2 different purposes. First for laying in and fil- 
ling the empty barrels. - For this purpose 4 B lamps were fasten~ 
ed on the ceiling of the “section” with a good reflector. 
These lamps are on a switch alongside the door in an iron box 
sunk in the Wall. : The second purpose for which light is need— 
ed is for drawing off the beer into small casks. The lighting 
is done in a similar manner as in the fermenting cellars only one 
lamp being used at a time in each “section.” Four connec- ; | 
tion boxes are placed at the side of the cellar, neNaee a box be- 
tween every other tier of barrels. The shape of the pen Gern, 


used here is the same as the one described above but an iron 


screw clamp is attached to it opposite the hook so that it can be 
screwed: against; therhead.ot a barrel for tapping. All the 
conductors inside the section must be covered with lead and 


sunk in the wall as the brickwork is esenetonniTy washed off 


with: ‘dilute sulphuric acid. Ordinary drop lights are used in 
the | Passage but as these are also laid full of storage barrels 7 
3 times a year, it is necessary that they can be easily removed 


and I intend to use a “onee iron connection pee on the ) ceding 












into which the rod, carrying the lamp, can be Jesewed iz a sim- 
ilar way as: our out out Sade: 

I also desire to make a few remarks about ‘a shade 
which I used in the Printing noes of the “Boersen-Coprier” én the 


compositors cases. The shade is not open above as usual but is 


attached directly to the.socket. It is made. of tin painted 






white inside. «© It gives very good results and 
makes all the light available, a B lamp being 


3 quite sufficient fur each man with this shade. 


Yours very truly, 


Ph. .

BOUGIES ET BRIQUETTES ELECTROGENES: 


. OE M. LE DF DRARD, DE LA ROCHELLE 


La production do l’énergio électrique pour les 
applications scicntifiques, domestiques etindustriclles 
a été obtenue jusqu'ici 4 l'aide d'appareils qu'on 
peut diviser cn trois groupes distincts.: 1° les piles 
a liquides ou générateurs hydro-électriques ; 2° les 
piles. ou :.générateurs thermo-électriques; 3° les 
machines ou’ générateurs dynamo-electriques; sui- 
vant qu'on: fait: appel a l'action chimique,’ l’action 
thermique ou:l’aclion mécanique. . 

Les intéressants: travaux de M. Ie D* Brard, de 
La Rochelle, ‘dont les premiers résultats ont éé 
présentés par Icur: auteur au dernier Congrés do 
l'Association  frangaise. pour Uavancement des 
sciences, montrent qu'il faudra bientdt y ajouter une 
nouvelle classe de générateurs électriques dont la 
place naturelle se trouve entre les piles hydro-dlec- 


-triques et les. piles thermo-électriques proprement 


dites.. Le véritable nom de ce nouveau mode de 
production de I'électricité serait en effet génératcur 
thermo-chimique, le courant étant en réalité engen- 
dré par une action chimique produite 4 unc tempé- 


“+! pature dlevée. : 


La réaction: chimique qui donne naissance au 
courant ‘est-la combustion du charbon sous I'action 
d’un corps oxydant: comme I'azotate de potasse 


ou l'azotate desoude; lecharbon joie Ic rdle de zinc: 


dans- les :piles:hydro-électriques. ordinaires, et le 
courant ‘produit: va; duns Ie circuit extéricur, de 
T'azotate au charbon.: - 
La premiére experience dans laquelle ces courants 
ont été constatds est due.& Antoine-César Becquerel, 
qui-Jn décrit ‘ainsi dans son Traitd d'électricité et de 
magnetisine:{tomel*, . page 185,- année. 1855) : 
-« Si T'on fixe 4!'une des oxtrémités du fil d’un 
multiplicateur : uh :creuset de platine-rompli do 
nitrate ‘ou'deichlorate de potasse fondu, et-que l’on 
attache & autre extrémité un morceau de charbon 
de cornue:dont ‘lé bout a, été préalablement porté & 
Ja température ::rouge; .en plongeant ce charbon 
incandescent dans: le bain: en fusion, on & un: cou- 
rant énergiquo'dans un'schs:tel que le charbon est 
négatif-et lo-nitrate.de potasso positif. Cet effet est 
di &:lavombustion' vive du. charbon atx. dépens de 


Vosygéno ‘du‘ bain en fusion. Pour que lexpérienco: 


réussisso,-il est’ nécessairo de maintenir le morceau 
de charbon-avec.la main, afin qu'il no totiche pas 
aux patois du‘crouset'9":" hes 
Cotto’ expéricnce ‘était ‘tombée dans I'oubli: lors: 
qu’en 1877, ello fut répétéo':par M. :Jablochkolf, 
Mune fagon tout: fait indépendanto et suns avoir 


connaissance des travaux antérieurs de Becquerel,

mais il ne donna aucune suite i ses recherches. 
Tout récemment, I'idée a été repriso par M. le 


Dr Brard, de La Rovhelle, ct 1a question a fait, entre. 


ses mains, un pas trés. important puisquo les hou- 
gies.et les briquettes de ect inventour constituent 


aujourd'hui un véritable combustible électrogéne _ 
fournissant & Ia fois de la chaleur ct dol'électricité. ° 


M. Brard espére méme arriver & construire un véri- 
table podlo électrique produisant en grand ct d'une 
maniére continue ce que les hougies et les briquettes 
fournissent aujourd'hui en petit d'une maniére dis- 
continue. : : 

Sans vouloir préjuger en rien de l'avenir réservé 
aux projets de M. lc Dr-Brard, nous nous conten- 
terons de citer ici unc réflexion fort judicieuse 


de M. Niaudet 4 I’époque. ot M. Jablochkoff fit ses - 


premiéres expériences sur sa pile 4 charbon :. « La 
pile do Volta elle-méme, lorsqu’elle fut inventée, 
n’était qu'une nouveauté purement scientifique et 
on était loin d’y voir un objet d'utilité pratique. » 

C'est ce qu'on peut dire: aujourd'hui des pre- 
micrs résultats obtenus 
allons résumer ici. Ba tig ehh 

Bougie électrogéne. — Le petit appareil auquel 


M. Brard a donné co nom, i:eause de son analogic - 


de forme extérieure avec une bougie, a-pour objet 
de fournir pendant quelques instants de Ja chaleur, 
de Ja lumiére et de I’électricité. Voici comment cette 
bougie est constituée : ok: : 
On fait un aggloméré avec du charbou pulvérisé 
agglutiné avec de la mélasse, tassé dans un moule 
et formant un pelit cylindre emprisonnant des fils 


‘fins de cuivre qui sortent a l'une ‘des extrémités 


pour former le pdle négatif. Go cylindre de charbon 


“est enveloppé-d’une feuille mince--ct isolante:de 


papier d'amiunte, et le tout, aprés dessiccation.com- 


pléte, est trempé viyoment et i plusieurs -reprises _ 
‘dans un bain d’azotate fondu jusqu’d co qu'on y 


fasse adhérer uno couche do:6 i: 7 smillimatres 
d’épaisseur. On recouvre Io nitrato-refroidi d'une 
feuille de clinquant ou on !’entoure de quelques. fils 
de cuivro destinés 4 former -le pdle positif,: etion 
recouvre Io ‘tout d'une dernigre®feuille de papier 
damiante. = 7: : oan pian Dibts 


‘L'appareil ainsi “construit. présente’ grossidrement 


Taspeet d'unc.bougie dont lo charbon: constitue la 
méche et l’azotate Ia stéarine. En fermant un cir- 
cuit entre les deux séries de fils métalliques + qui 
constituent ‘les ‘poles de.la hougic, et en faisant 
rougir Io charbon l'autre extrémité de -In bougio 
jnsqu’d Penllammer; on obtient un courant qui duro 
autant que la combustion de Ia bougie ; un galvano= 
mitre intercaldé dans Ie circuit révalo'des variations 
brusques dans I’intensité du ‘courant, variations dues 
a Tirrégularité do 1a: combustion: do::cette. bougie:

Paris 1881 _ Y 


65 Fifth Avenue, New York. 


; of T. \eiteon Esqe, 


Dear ‘Sir: 
_ We have this morning received a letter from the Committee 
of the Italian Company complaining of the commission of one-quarter 


per cent. which we have charged to them on your invoices,to cover 


the commission charged by Mr Wallerstein. They had previously 


written to us on the subject,supposing that this commission was 
charged for our benefit, and we replied explaining that this was 
not the case. They write anew this morning, and we reply that we 
send to you their reclamation. : 

We cannot pass such a charge to the Compagnie Continen=- 
tale inasmuch as it has no profit on the material furnished, but 
acts as simple intermediary between you -and the Italian Company. 
Please to write us fully on this point, and do the most in your 


power to: satisfy our Ttalian friemds who, we understand, think this 


amount of a squatter per ants, omission should be ences ted: to them 


They: e180 write us regarding ad le age hag She: ‘Porter 
Allen enginesgsaying that Professor colombo. had a direst assurance 


that: the governors should be changeds that they have just received 


a letter from Mr. Porter ‘sonouneing that he ‘has not: been; able to 























2 
keep his engagement because Mr. Edison had not yet paid for the 
second half of the engines ordered from fgom him,as these engines 
have been recognized as datecuee: that we have debited: them for 
the full price of these engines; and that they have the right to 
reclaim the new model governor as now manufactured by Porter Allen; 
aad thee they hold us to the same reserve that Mr Edison has made 
to the Porter Allen people, and hold us responsible for the proper 
working of these governors, and of the possible necessity of chang- 
ing theme We have replied to them that Mr Bailey remembers per=- 
fectly that there was a question between Brbresuet Colombo and Mr. 
Edison as to these governors, and that his recollection is also 
that Mr. Edison engaged that the new governor should be furnished, 
without additional charge,if found necessary to the ovosee working 
of the engines. 

We beg your prompt attention to this affair. You know 
how much the Edison interests will be affected by the result of the 
Italian Central Statien now forming; also whatever may be the situ- 
ation between you and the Porter Allen peoplesit is essential that 
you put the Italians right, as the amount involved for you is of 
little consequence in comparison with the smooth working and good 
understanding with the Italian peeple. Notwithstanding all our 
contracts,our hold on them,as well as, on others with whom we have 
similar contracts in Europeywill depend quite as mueh.on the impress 


. sion of entire good faith.and promptitude in. keeping engagements,as 


on the force of .the contracts themselvés.

Professor Golombo stated to Mr. Bailey at Brunn on the 
occasion of their ubeiidg there that the payment of your bills in 
advanceswith no possibility of verifieation of the amount, and the 
closing of the door to any reclamation exeept sueh as you might be 
disposed to admit, has given a good deal of offenee,and oreated 
some bad feeling among thé Bankers at Milan who are on the Comite 
tea of the Bdison affair, and that he had had great difficulty in 
getting them to accept this system. ' 

Bailey explained to him the reasons for it, and assured = | 
him that they would be plaeed in no position ofprejudice through Q 
‘this system of payment, and enlarged on your entire good faith in 
all affairs of business. The Italians have gone ahead with great 
enterprise, and Professor Colombo himself, as you know, has taken 
great personal responsibilities invadvance of: any demonstration of 
the good working of your maehines for Central stations. and even at 
the moment when eartain difficutties. wore fully recognized as exis- 
‘tings . 

We beg you out of regard for your own duterests to let no 
delay occur in giving what we have no doubt you will recognize as 
fully ‘as we just satisfaction in the matters herein set forths: 

We cabled you yesterday “Arrange govérnore Italian machine 
“es impoftant,” hoping that from this you aay be abie to put in * 
train what is necessary inj advance or receifing this Letter.

S.BeEaton Esq. 
65 Fifth Avenue 
New York. 
Dear Sir: 


-Referring to the conversations had with Messrs. Armington 





& Sims in New York and in Paris, we beg to say that during Bailey’s 
visit to Germany he was requested to get models of each size of 
their engines, and @ contract was proposed to be made with Messrs. 
Armington # Sims for the manufacture of their epgines in Germany on . 
the basis of the payment of 5 per cente royalty as long as the pa< 
tent rights should remain good. The royalty of 10 per Seake is 
one that will make it entirely impossible to make any general ar- 
rangements for .the manufacture of their engines eitHer in Germany 
or elsewhere in Europe. The margins of such business are not 
large enough on this ‘sid89 to Support such heavy payments for patent 
rights, especially where the foundation is so uncertain as it is 
in all matters relating to ateam. engines. . hs 

ce If messrs. Armington & Sims accept an arrangement on this ee 
basis contracts can be made in Gérmany and France. at once with a ; 


leading manufacturer, binding him to manufacture no other fast= 





speed enffines except the Armington “Sims and” 











ry 





tefmg as may be agreed one 


’ 


If this proposition meets the approval of Armington & Sin 


; they should send us at once the models desired or duplicates of : 


‘them, and we will put in train contracts in the sense above refer- 
red to for their approval. 


We cabled you under date of the 12th. instant to ship two 


Armington ‘Enginés for.use in Desai These engines are for the 
lighting of the Theatre oe Park, and the Cercle Artistique at 
Brugsels. , 

ao: i ‘re MessrstArmington & Sims do-not wish to accept the 


we ’ 


a 


{. ; 
‘teims atiove proposed, we can do business with them in countries 





where their PeuEsaCS can be introduced without vitiating the patents 
on! the basis of purchase, but this will not be nearly so advantage- 
ous as a general arrangement. fot the payment of a 5 per cente roy- 
alty which would engage - us or our contractants to further the appl# 
sation of their engines rot only for electrical installations,. but 
for general UBG6 

Awaiting your advices regarding this, 


= We remain,

Referfing to our letter of the 18th. instant regarding

“As to the matter of the governors we learn by a letter 
“from Mr Edison to Professor Colombo, dated the 6th. inst. that: 
“The machines furnished. by the Southwark Foundry & 
“Machinery Co. are not in accordance with the Contract, 
“and as soon as Mr. Edison can have other machines, he 
“will take out the ecaaunt machines from the pentvat Sta~ 
““$ion at New York.”. . 
“In a former letter Mr Ediaon says that the 
“Porter engine doés not work. well, ‘and the only ., 
“thing that is lacking still at the Gon trel Station-ia

1882. Electric Light - Foreign - United Kingdom - General (D-82-039) 


This folder contains correspondence, agreements, reports, and other 
documents relating to the Edison electric light system in the United Kingdom. 
Much of the correspondence is by Edison's associate, Edward H. Johnson, and by 
Arnold White, secretary of the Edison Electric Light Company, Ltd. Some of the 
documents deal with the Holborn Viaduct central station, the Electric Lighting Act 
of 1882, and the Manchester & District Edison Electric Light Company, Ltd. 
Included also is a printed pamphlet by Francis Jehl, "The Edison Electric Light 
Meter." Related material can be found in the Records of the Edison Electric Light 
Company, Ltd. (Company Records Series). 


Approximately 70 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following 
categories of documents have not been filmed: bills of lading-and lists of goods 
shipped; duplicate copies of selected documents; copies of cable messages filmed in 
Letterbook, LM-001 (Letterbook Series).

‘ THE EDISON ELECTRIC LIGA, |

} ' After some experimental trlals during tho lastfow weeks \ 
‘to assure tho smooth and perfect working of ovcry part of 
} "the arrangements, a demonstration of Mfr. Edison’s system | 
‘ of lighting tho buildings and streots of a district may now 
‘be seen in London. From’ Newgatestrect westward, , 
across tho Holborn Viaduct, to Hatton-garden, tho streot. 
and most of tho buildings on either sido of tho strect aro : 
now, and for the noxt two months, will continuo to bo lit ! 
by Edison incandoscent lamps. For the purposo of strect ! 
lighting two of tho incandescent lamps of 32 candlo-power 
each havo been placed in overy Iamp-post {n this section, ; 
~ andithad been hoped that last night permission would 
have been obtained from Colonel Heywood for the gas ta; 
bo turned ont in order that the offectiveness of tho Edison} 
incandescent lamps for street illumination might bo Proved; 
the more satisfactorily. Application will te mado to-day 
with this view, and it is hoped that to-night the public, 
will have an opportunity of judging on the matter fori 
themselves. Those who can obtain permission to rev the: 
machinery and appliances by which the olectrivity is: 
igonerated and distributed will find a satisfactory answer 
to the question which has often been asked during the lest 
four or five yoars—What is Mr. Edison doing? At Nig: 
} laboratory in Menlo-park, where bis experiments have becu - 
‘ made, a staff of some 200 assistants bas been continuously , 
: engaged in carrying out investigations on.various subjerta! 
‘suggested for inquiry by tho inventor, whoss‘ébject has] 
becn, not mergly to demonstrate a scientific possibility of i 
providing o beautiful light, but to deviso a practicable ant! 
economical system of supplying eluctricity to the whabit- 
ants of a town from various centres, just as at present gas 
id water aro supplied by public companies, 'Y’o this end. 
‘ ‘districts of New Pe ork aad other torus have been cane, 
vassed and statistics carefully callcete! and tabuloted,and, 
to give an instance of the niccty of tha adjustment of re- 
sults to cost,tho greater or leas thickness of the conductors 
i would vary with the prico of cnal in uifforent districts, the, 
calculations being based on the consideration that although 
' by increasing tho sectional area of tho rod tho wuato of. 
H eioctricity would bo diminished, there is a point buyond , 
; : which it would not be really economical to increase its sizo 
on account of the groator cost of tho copper.. Whero, 43 
in tho north of Englaod, coal is much cheaj : thun in 
‘London smaller conductors would bo uscd, One of Mr. 
‘Edison's objects in making this trial of his: syetem in 
Holborn is, indeed, to obtain such furcher and ‘exact in-! 
formation on the requirements of a given: district in 
London as may ensblo a com adopting his syatem.to: 
make their contracts with the. businesslike cortaint of, 
results. For tho first tima in the history of electric Night- 
Hing, ho would claim, there is here porfested a item ‘of 
| electrical supply, consisting of means for manufacturing, 
(regulating, distributing, and measuring elootricit by! 
moters for purpases_of genoral consumption i2h, all tho, 
_ inhabitants of a town, and not by a fow ividuals, 
, whother for lighting, for driving machinory, supplying 
{ electric bolls, working tulophones, or for any other Purpose

‘as to the manufacturo.” Thoro is in the ‘ basement. of the

which all tho lights in tho -district, neatly, 1,000 in}

int in tho system is its safoty. The electric prossure, 
Yo borrow a term from the aystom of gas distributors, is 
solow that s child may hold the olectrodes without; 
(danger ; and with regard to the safety of the lamp, a band- 
skerchief being over one of the globes and the plasn 
being shat tho instancous ortingulehing of the light 
!by the destruction of the vacuom is all that happens, ‘the 
handkerchief is not oven singed. Tho dynamo-machino is 
worked by a Porter-Allen high-pressure engino of 150 
horse-power indicated, causing the armaturo to mako 350 , 
revolutions per minute, Generator and steam-engino ara 


+ firmly fastened together on the same cast-iron bed-plato, 


{quantity consumed is mado once a quarter, or as often as 


the engine driving the armaturo, which is mounted on tho 
crank shaft,direct ly and without the uso of belting, Steadi-_ 
ness of is further ‘insured by a sensitive governor, 
and as lights in a circuit aro turned out, say whena 
theatro performance or a oburchservico is over, the safetyof 
tho lamps remaining alight is provided for by'a resistance 
regulator under the caro of a man in tho photometer and 
dynamometer room, the engineer proportionately diminish- 
jing the work of the engine. Tho armaturo is kept cool by 
la small blowing fan, riven by the ongine. The mothod 
by which Mr. Edison effects tho practi ically equable dis- 
y 

tribution of electric force throughout a istrict is ono of 
tho most important features of his aystem, The Principle 
is oxplained on the premises of tho company by an 
arrangewent of wires strotched on a partition wall and ! 
| resentins tho appearance of a large check . ttern, with 
Four distributing stations fed from a centi station, the’ 
| mains boing supplied from these stations by conductors 
‘placed at egulated distances apart. Small plags, each 
{containing a piece of lead wiro, which will ture and broals 2 
|eontact should tho current become too strong, servo auto- | 
matically to protect the carbon filamonts in tho lamps 
from any sudden and accidental rush of elcctricity.to ono 
| int in the system. Tho conducting mains aro copper 
po P| 
‘rods insulated {n propared wood and onclosad in iron tubes

\of apparatus ia the meter for measuring the quantity ot 
lelectricity consumed by cach customer, This isa bottle 
: containing two plates of zine in a solution of zino sulpbato, 
‘the current in passing causing tho ono plate to increase inj 
i Weight at the expense of the other. As, howorar, if tho ; 
whole current passed through tho bottle this chango gould 
igo on too rapidly, pro; rly-proportioned ‘shunt wire 
‘allows just 1-8/0th of the electricity foing into the houso 
main to pass through tho meter. 0 estimato of the |

MY DEAR EDISON, 

YOUR AUTOGRAPH ON ADJUSTMENT OF BRUSHES AT HAND. 
WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESISTANCE IN THE FIELDS, OF THE BIG DYNANOS AT 
ALL; WE HAVE BEEN REGULATING ENTIRELY BY THE STEAM. EVER SINCE 
THE FIRST NIGHT OR TWO, WHEN THE NeW MACHINE GAVE US CONSIDERABLE 
TROUBLE, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING THE BRUSHES AT A DIFFERMENT ANGLE 
FROM THAT WHICH THEY HA: WHEN WE RECEIVED THEM, AND THIS WAS DOLE 
IN ORDER TO ENABLE US TO ADJUST THEM TO THE VERY POSITION THAT YOU 
NOW DIRECT. YF YOU WILL THINK BACKWARDS TO ONE OF MY EARLY L&T -

THE DIFFICULTY WAS OWING TO HAMMER: HAVING THE BRUSHES ON TOO 
STRAIGHT, AND THAT WE SET THEM pee OBLIQUELY, AFTER WHICH THE 
TROUBLE DISAPPEARED, THE FACT IS, THAT WE HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE 


WHATEVER WITH SPARKING, EXCERPT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WETH 


“THE MACHINE 1.4E.,WHEN THE COMMUTATOR GOT CROSSED AND SUBSEQUENTLY 


WHEN THRE LUG CONNECTIONS GOT LOOSE. THESE TWO DEFECTS HAVING 
BEEN PERMANENTLY REMEDIED, WEHAVE NOW NO TROUBLE WHATEVER AND THE 


MACHINE IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY. THERE 1S SCARGELY ANY SPARKING 


WITH 700 TO SOO LAMPS, AND WE ARE USING LESS AND LESS COAL ALL THE i 


TIME, THE ENTIRE APPARATUS, INFACT, GAINS IN ECONOMY. You CAN 


DRAW A GREAT MANY INTERESTING FACTS OUT OF HOOD, BY CROS S-QUESTION 


“ING HIM , fi PRESUNE YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT GET MUCH FROM HIM UN- 


LESS YOU DO PURSUE THIS course), NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE FACS 














“4 Ali NONE THE LESS puahenn TO RECEIVE YOUR LETTER AND MAVE FRAMED 
IT, GILT-EDGHD, AS AN EVIDENCE THAT YOU DO SOMETIMES WRITR AUTO~ 
GRAPHICALLY. 

WE ARE NOW DISCUSSING THE QUESTION OF ERECTING ANOTHER. 

BOILER AND ANOTHER STEAM=DYNAMO ON THE VIADUCT, FOR THE PURPOSE OF 
SECURING ADDITIONAL RELIABILITY AND OF PUTTING QUT ANOWHER 1000 


LIGHTS, IN ORDER TO OBTAIN HIGHER ECONOMY. OUR SHAFT, WHICH Cov 


NEARLY £600, OUR RESERVE DYNAMO, £8,000, THE RENT OF THE BSTABLISH- 


“MENT, LABOUR, AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS NOW CHARGED TO THE PRODUCT 
ON ONE MACHINE, WILL THEN BE CHARGEABLE TO THAT OF TWO, AND WILL 
THUS GREATLY INCREASE OUR ECONOMICAL SHOW, BestDES WHICH, WE SHALL 
BE ABLE TO MAKE A MUCH LARGER DISPLAY AND TO SECURE GREATER RELIA- 
“BILITY. IT IS NOT. CONTEMPLATED TO MAKE OF THIS A PERMANENT STA~ 
“TION, OR TO FURTHER INCREASE THE PLANT BEYOND THIS ADDITIONAL MA~ 
“CHINE, BUT IT IS CONSIDERED WIS& {AT LEAST, IT IS MY PROPOSITION® 
AND IS ASSENTED TO BY THE BOARDP TO MAKE THIS ADDITION, IN ORDER 
TO Bid EFFECT AN ADVANTAGEOUS OPERATION AND SHOWING IN RESPECT OF 
THIS FIRST INSTALLATION. A LARGER INSTALLATION WILL SHORTLY BE 
ESTABLISHED, MORE NEARLY IN THE CENTRE OF THE CITY PROPER } BUT MY 
IDEA 1S, THAT IT WILL NEVER DO IN THE GENERAL INTEREST, TO PERNIT 
THIS VIADUCT INSTALLATION TO BE DISCONTINUED, AND THAT, SINCE IT B 
18 TO BE CONTINUED UNTIL A LARGER STATION CAN BE PUT INTO OPERATIQI 
AND SINCE THAT CANNOT: BE EFFECTED WITHIN A YEAR - AND SINCE ALSO, 
deleruniredl 

THE GREAT QUESTION OF COST WILL BE  SETURNES. BY THR WORK DONE HERE, 
1 AM OF THE OPINION THAT THE PROPOSED ADDITION IS FULLY JUSTIFIED 
BY THE ENDS SOUGHT. AS IT IS, WE WILL EVEN NOW BE ABLE To SHOW 
THE COST TO BE wrrutn THE COST OF GAS, OR TO CLOSELY APPROXIMATE. 


THERETO. BY SLIGHTLY INCREASING THE ECONOMY, I AM SATISFIED THAT 


1 CAN NAKE THE VIADUCT STATION SHOW AN ACTUAL PROFIT = TAKING THE 

















PRICE CHARGED FOR GAS - AND AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EVERY ITEM 
THRET CAN POSSIBLY BE CHARGED TO THE PRODUCTION OF THE LIGHT. 

THE 860 OHN LAMPS HAVE BEEN FOUND, AND WILL BE TESTED 
BY THE CRYSTAL PALACE JURY. I AM ALSO PUTTING IN ONE OF yYouR 250 
LIGHT BYNAMOS FOR TESTING. I HOPE, ON THESE TWO LATER ARRIVALS 
TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A VERY FAVOURABLE REPORT. [I LIKE THE Now 
LAMP VERY MUCH - I HAVE ONE IN MY 5-<LIGHT CHANDELIER Av THE os 
“ENT MOMENT, AND AN HARDLY ABLE TO DISTINGUSH NK BETWEEN IT AND TIE 
A Laups. SIR WILLIAM THOMPSON, WHO HAS ALL’ ALONG PROTESTED THAT 
SWAN’. WAS IN ADVANCE OF YoU IN RESPECT TO THE LAMP, AS CONSIDERED 
BY ITSELF, REMARKED TO ME A FEW DAYS AGO - UPON MY TELLING HIM THA 
I HAD RECEIVED A CASK OF LAMPS 360 onM HOF.) —- TO-CANDLES *'THAT 18 
A VERY GREAT STRIDE. INDEED.'* 

WE COMMENCED ON THE IST.JUNE, THE ACCURATE ECONOMY TEST 
ON THE VIapuCcT. 1 LEAVE HERE ON THE 17TH.,AND WILL THEREFORE NOT 
BE ABLE TO BRING WITH ME THE 3O DAYS' RECORD, BUT WILL 66 so IN 
RESPECT OF THE FIRST I5 DAYS, FROM WHICH YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN 
CALCULATIONS. ON THE IST.JULY, WE SHALL BEGIN TO CHARGE FOR THE 
LIGHT, BY WHICH TIME I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE To FUR i 


-NISH US WITH EITHER 50, OR 100, StREet\ CANDLE) LAMPS. MY PRIVATE 


OPINION IS, THAT THE 50-CANDLE LAMP WILL ULTIMATELY BE ADOPTED FoR 

: 
STREET LIGHTING, EVEN THOUGH THE 100 CANDLE LAMP SHOULD BE FORTH- 
COMING AND'-PROVE!: SATISFACTORY , AS I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CITY AU- 


“THORITIES WILL CARE TO PAY FOR MORE THAN 50 CANDLES, WHICH 1S 


QUITE SUFFICIENT ~ SEEING THAT THE LAMP POSTS ARE PLACED SO CLOSE 





TOGETHER, TO GIVE A SUFFICIENTLY BRILLIANT LIGHT FOR THE PURPOSE. 


LAST WEEK WE Petre FINALLY CONCLUDED THE NEGOTIATIONS 


FOR THE S.E. AND S.W. AND THE WESTERN DISTRICTS OF LONDON. THE 


CONSOLIDATED TELEPHONE CONSTRUCTION & WAI NTENANCE Co., AND CLARK, 


3 








MUIRHEAD & CO., ARE THE PARTIES MAKING THE PURCHASE, AND THEY 
JOINTLY PAY US FOR THESE THREE DISTRICTS, £75,000 AND HALF PROFITS. 
‘WE HAVE THEREFORE BROUGHT TWO OF OUR DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS TO A 
FINAL CONCLUSION, VIZ}- THESE DISTRICTS AND LANCASHIRE. OUR CASH 
REVENUE FROM THESE TWO ORGAINZATIONS 18 £125,000. NEGOTIATIONS 
FOR OTHER DISTRICTS ARE IN MORE OR LESS FORWARD STATE. GOUREAUD'S 
COLONIAL AFFAIR MOVES VERY SLOWLY. 1 HAD A LONG SESSION WITH 

THE PARTIES YESTERDAY, AND I THINK THE SNALL DIFFERENCES ABOUT 
WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN QUIBBLING FOR SOME TIME, ARE ALL NOW REMOV 
“ED. THE CASH PAYMENT WILL BR £85,000, AND A LIKE AMOUNT IN F ULL 


- 


PAID A SHARES. IT 1S EXPECTED, OF COURSE, THAT aie SHARES WILL 
IMMEDIATELY GO TO A PREMIUM, IN WHICH EVENT WE WILL SELL THEM, fie 
THUS BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT TO YOU THE £50,000 ORIGINALLY CONTEMPLATE 
AS THE PURCHASE MONEY FOR INDIA & AUSTRALIA 

CRYSTAL PALACE EXHIBITION CLOSED LAST NIGHT. WE WILL 

. 

TUMEDIATELY BEGIN PACKING ALL THE EXHIBITS, OTHER THAN THOSE PER~ 
“TAINING TO ELECTRIC LIGHT, AND RETURN THEM TO YOU, ADDRESSED 
*THENLO PARK?! T HAVE YOUR COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE CONSULAR CER-~ 
“TIFICATES, AND WILL ATTEND TO IT, SO THAT THERE WILL BE NO DUTY 
CHARGED UPON THEM. 

WE HAVE SENT 5 OF YOUR PATENTS INTO COURT, FOR DISCLAIMER 
AND HOPE TO GET THE DISCLAIMERS ALLOWED BEFORE THE LONG VACATION, 
AND THUS BE PREPARED FOR THE: GREAT CONTEST WHICH WE PROPOSE TO 
INAUGURATE WITHOUT DELAY. THE RAOD HAS BEEN PRETTY WELL CLEARED 
AND 1 AM SATISFIED THAT ALL THAT IT 1S POSSIBLE TO DO HAS BEEN 
DONE TO MAKE THE CONTEST A STRONG ONE. THE ENTIRE THEORY OF YOUR 


SYSTEM, BOTH IN GENERAL AND IN DETATL, IS Now UNDERSTOOD, AS IT 


WAS NOT UNDERSTOOD at FIRST, AND 1 THINK YOU MAY PLACE ENTIRECON-

MY DEAR EDISON, 
1 HAVE YOURS OF THE 26TH. APRIL, MANY COMNUNTICA- 
| “TIONS FROM IMSULL OF VARIOUS DATES, TELEGRAMS, ETC., ETC., ETC. 
I CANNOT RECALL NOW ALL THE SUBJECTS TREATED OF BUT GENERALLY, HAVE 
TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TELEGRAPHING AND WRITING ME FOR 
THAT WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER 
INVARIABLY BEFORE THE RECEPTION. OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS. YOU WANT 
WORK FOR THE LAMB, FACTORY} gif WANT ORDERS FOR GOERCK STREET; 
BERGMANN WANTS WORK; THE LAMD FACTORY COULD NOT BE STARTED TILL 
ORDERS WARRANTED IT, MY 38 & 52 CANDLE LAMP COULD NOT BE CONPLET- 
<ED BECAUSE THE LAMP FACTORY WAS SHUT DOWN, AND THEN - WHEN THE 
ORDERS WERE SENT, YOU DID NOT APPEAR TO REALIZE THAT YOU ACTUALLY 
HAD THEM IN HAND. THE ORDER FOR 31X DYNANOS WAS DELAYED, AS EBX- 
“PLAINED IN MY LETTERS AND ORIGINAL TELEGRAM FOR A LITTLE NORE 
a, CON@IDERATION TO BE GIVEN TO, 3M OWNER PSETB, AND WHEN THE ORDER 
eres WAS FINALLY SENT IT WAS BENT FROM THE HEAD OFFICE OF THE CO., 74, 
COLEMAN STREET, WHICH OFFICE HAS ADOPTED '* #@ SEVENFOUR™ As ITS 
<>, CABLE CODE INSTEAD OF '* FIFTYSEVEN" WHICH CONTINUES TO BE MY 
“PRIVATE CODE ADDRESS, THEN YOU CABLED ME THAT YOU COULD Not. UN- 
-DERTAKE SO NUCH WORK WITHOUT SOME PROVISION FOR MONEY. NOW ALL 
if THIS t KNEW AND, KNOWING:IT,° PROVIDED FOR IT. AT THE VERY NEET- 
“ING AT WHICH THESE ORDERS WERE DISCUSSED, I MADE A VERY CONSIDER- 
: “\: ABLE. SPEECH IN WHICH 1 TOOK OCCASION TO SAY THAT IF ORDERS WERE NOt 
Ll arven YOU FOR MATERIAL THEY COULD BE PROMPTLY FILLED BUT THAT IF 
DELAYED UNTIL YOU HAD THE NEW YORK STATION STARTED YOUR WORKS 
, OULD BE SO OVERWHELMED WITH HOME ORDERS THAT PRACTICALLY WE 
WOULD BE SHUT OUT. ‘ON THIS LINE OF ARGUMENT I GOT THE ORDER MADE 
FOR A VERY CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF MATERIAL AND ON THES LINE OF. 
ARGUMENT I FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN GETTING AN ORDER FOR SIX LARGE 
DYNAMOS, SO MUCH FOR THE ORDER. 1 THEN CALLED THE ATTENTION OF 
; MR.BOUVERIE TO OUR FORMER EXPERIENCE AND TO THE GENERAL FACT THAT 
YOU WORK ALL YOUR ESTABLISHMENTS ON SUCH A CLOSE MARGIN THAT YOU 
COULD NOT TAKE AN ORDER OF THIS KIND IN HAND WITHOUT ADVANCED PAY- 
“MENT ON ACCOUNT THEREOF, MR. BOUVERIE PROMPTLY. PROPOSED AND 
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK SECONDED THAT A CONSIDERABLE SUMBE PAID YoU IN.

ADVANCE. IT IS ALL THEREFORE ARRANGED AND WAS ARRANGED BEFORE 
THE RECEIPT OF YOUR TELEGRAM THAT WHATEVER MONEY YOU REQUIRE SHALL 
BE PAID TO YOU THROUGH DREXEL MORGAN & CO., ON ACCOUNT. OF COURSE 
I QUITE UNDERSTAND YOUR ANXIETY AND I QUITE. UNDERSTAND THE OBJECT 
OF YOUR CONTINUAL NAGGING IK THAT YOU, WISH TO ASSIST ME IR CARRY« 
“1% YOUR POINTS, BUT 1 THINK YOU PUSHED IT A LITTLE FURTHER THAN 
WAS NECESSARY IN YOUR LAST CABLE. HOWEVER, IT IS ALL NOW ADJUST- 
~ED. THERE REMAINS NOTHING TO BE DONE AS BETWEEN YOU, DREXRL 
MORGAN & CO., AND THE COMPANY, BUT FOR YOU TO FILL ORDERS IN HAND 
AND GET YOUR MONEY THEREFOR. THE LAST PAYMENT OF £1666 ON ACC- 
-OUNT OF DREXEL MORGAN & CO."'S DISBURSEMENTS UNDER THE CONTRACT 
HAS BEEN MADE CONSEQUENTLY THE ‘CONTRACT IS NOW FULFILLED IN EVERY 
DETAIL. .THE MONEYS PAID BY DREXEL MORGAN & CO., SINCE THE CLOSING 
OF THE CONTRACT WILL BE RETURNED TO THEM JUST AS FAST AS THE AC- 
COUNTS ARE RECEIVED. PIERREPOINT MORGAN HAS DONE ME THE HONOUR 
OF CALLING AT THE VIADUCT TO SEE ME AN FURTHER HONOUR OF EX-=- 
“PRESSING HIMSELF AS VERY WELL cucaseT I aus. HE HAS SEEN @ #& 
ENGLAND AND IN FACT OF ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE. BATCHELOR HAS 
BEEN TO SEE ME AND IS DELIGHTED WITH EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY WITH 
MY ENGLISH COMPANY, ITS MEN AND ITS LINES. THERE IS ONE THING 
CERTAIN YOU WILL GET MORE MONEY OUT OF ENGLAND ALONE THAN YOU WILL 
GET OUT OF &LL THE REMAINDER OF THIS HEMISPHERE. 1 DO NOT LIKE 
THE CONTRACTS THE FRENCH PEOPLE ARE MAKING - THEY APPEAR TO NE TO 
BE DRAWN WITH ONE IDEA, AND THAT 1S, ENDLESS COMPETITION FOR THE 
PURPOSE OF ULTIMATELY EUCHREING SOMEBODY. ON THE WHOLE THEREFORE 
I CAN CONSIDER THAT THE PROSPECT IN ENGLAND 1S BRIHGT, AS COMPARED | 
WITH ELSEHWRE. 

COLONEL GOURGAUD HAS PROVED HIS INEFFICIENCY SINCE HE 
HAS BEEN WHOLLY UNABLE THUS FAR TO NEGOTIATE EVEN THE TWO COLONIES 
INDIA & AUSTRALIA. 1 AM DOING WHAT I CAN TO URGE UPON HIM THE 
IMPORTANCE OF ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING IN THIS RESPECT BUT MAKE ABUT 
LITTLE HEADWAY. HE TELLS ME THAT HE IS ONLY AWAITING THE 
PREPARATION OF THE PAPERS BY MR.WATERHOUSE, Y HAVE ASKED MR. 
WATERHOUSE TO LET HIM HAVE THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I HAVE 
GIVEN GOURGAUD TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS SOON AS THE PAPERS ARE IN HIS 
HANDS I SHALL EXPECT SOME DENONSTRATION OF THE PROGRESS TO BE MADB 
MEANTIME THERE 1S NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID IN REGARD TO THESE COLO- 
RNTES. 

CRYSTAL PALACE EXHIBITION CLOSES ON THE 3RD. JUNE. 
' HAVE HAD THE JURY IN TOW AND 1 AM SATISFIED THAT THE DIFFRRENCE 
OF RECOGNITION AS BETWEEN YOUR WORK AND THAT OF OTHERS WILL BE HORE 
MARKED THAN IT WAS IN PARYS. THE VIADUCT CONTINUES TO RUN 
SATISFACTORILY, BUT WE ARE IN TROUBLE WITH NO.g. MACHINES {fT 18

CROSSED WITH THE BASE. A TEST MADE BY MORON & FRANCIS DEVELOP- 
~ED THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE BARS OF THE ARMATURE IS CROSSED WITH 
THE IRON DISscs. I IMMEDIATELY TELEGRAPHED TO PARIS ron oni Noam 
TO COME BY THE FIRST TRAIN, BUT THE DAMNED FOOL TELEGRAPHED BACK 
THAT BATCHELOR WAS. AWAY. Y REPLIED THAT I KNEW THAT, AND WAS 
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORDER I GAVE HIM AND ASKED HIM TO COME AT. 
ONCE. 1 EXPECT HIM TO BE HERE TONIGHT. I THEN PROPOSED TO UN- 
WIND THE ARMATURE, REMOVE THE BAR, REINSULATE It, PUT IT BACK AND 
REWIND THE ARMATURE. THIS IS THE FIRST REAL TROUBLE WE HAVE HAD 
AND I Ase IN HOPES WE SHALL BE ABLE TO TIDE OVER THE TINE NECESSARY 
FOR REMEDYING IT WITHOUT A BREAKDOWN OF THE OTHER MACHINES} FOR 
IN CASE ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO IT WHILE WE ARE REPAIRING THIS 
ONE THE LIGHT ON THE VIADUCT WILL DISAPPEAR AND THEN YOU WILL HEAR 
SUCH A HOWL AS NEVER WENT UP FROM BABYLON BEFORE. Y QUITE REA- 
“LIZE WHAT THIS WOULD MEAN TO UE. ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT 1 HAVE 
DONE AND ALL THE GREDIT I HAVE RECEIVED THEREFOR, WOULD Go AS 8O 
MUCH CHAFF BEFORE A STRONG WIND. HOWEVER, 1T IS ALL IN A LIFE 
TIME AND 1! AM TAKING THE CHANCES. NO DOUBT IY COULD RUN THIS MA~ 
-CHINE WITH ONE SIDE CROSSED FOR A LONG TIME BUT I PREFER NOT TO 
DO THAT SORT OP THING. You MUST IN FUTURE, AS NO DOUBT YOU ARE 
FULLY AWARE, USE EVEN GREATER CAUTION IN THE MATTER OF INSULATION 
THAN YOU HAVE HERETOFORE. A SLIGHT THING OF THIS KIND WITH A 
MACHINE SO FAR@AY IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR 
INTERESTS. THE MACHINE COSTS TOO KUCH MONEY TO BE RUNNING CON~ 
“~STANTLY SO NEAR THE VERGE OF DESTRUCTION. THE INSULATION IN THE 
RODS WHICH LEAD FROM THE BRUSHES 18 VERY BAD ~ IT HAS TOTALLY 
GIVEN OUT OF NO.3. MACHINE AND WE SHALL HAVE TO PUT IN A BETTER 
ARRANGEMENT, IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS WE ARE RUNNING ALONG NICELY. 
I NOTE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT. THE TIT HAVING BROKEN OFF OF NO.f. BY 
VIRTUE OF THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF LOAD, BUT 1! THINK YOU ARE WRONG. 
WE HAD NOT BONE ANYTHING OF THAT SORT FOR A ‘LONG TIME PAST. 
Tt THINK IT 13S A GRADUAL. BREAK: - THE RESULT OF VIBRATION; HOWEVER, 
THAT IS A TRIFLING MATTER AND WAS. SOON .REMEDIED. YOUR TELEGRAM = 
OF TO-DAY SAYS THAT THE NEW MACHINES WILL RE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE 
OLD, COMES JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME BUT I CAN USE IT AS A SORT OF 
SALVE TO HEAL THE INJURIES WHICH OUR PEOPLE WILL HAVE RECEIVED BY 
THE ANMOUNCEMENT, OF THE TROUBLE WITH NO.3. 

THIS TELEPHONE TRIAL 18 INTERFERING SOMEWHAT WITH OUR 
PROGRESS IN THE MATTER OF TESTING: FOR cosT, EFFICIENCY, AND SO ON, 
SINCE DR.HOPKINSON & MYSELF ARE BOTH LOCKED UP BY IT EVERY DAY. 
HOWEVER, WE HOPE IT WILL BE OVER THE END OF THIS SEEK; Tt HAVE 
BEEN ON THE WITNESS~STAND AND HAVE SUCCEEDED IN MAKING AN IMPRES~ 
=SION ALTHOUGH I CAME ON AS THE LAST WITNESS. I SEND you A Copy 
OF THE TIMES SO THAT YOU MAY SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IT SAYS. tT AN

SATISFIED WE ARE GOING TO WIN IN .THISFIGHT ALTHOUGH IT 1S A VERY 
MUCH BETTER’ FOUGHT BATTLE THAN THAT AT EDINBURGH. ALDRED, HUS~ 
“BANDS & CREW ARE THE REAL BACKERS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT THE PEO- 
“PLE AGAINST WHOM THE ACTION 18 BROUGHT. Tt WANT TO WIN THIS BE~ 
CAUSE OF ITS BEARING ON THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PATENTS. 1 FIND A 
VERY STRIKING ANALOGY BETWEEN THE LAMP PATENT AND THE PATENT # FoR 
THIS CARBON BUTTON. I WILL POINT THEN OUT TO YOU WHEN I SEE YOU. 
BUT BECAUSE OF THIS ANALOGY I AH ABLE AS THE TRIAL GOES ALONG TO 
MAKE INNUMERABLE. POINTS WITH, WEBSTER AND OUR EXPERTS AND THUS EDU- 
“CATE THEM TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE VITAL FEATURES OF THE 
LAMP PATENT. MY WORK IN THIS RESPECT IS SAID BY WATERHOUSE AND 
OTHERS TO BE SIMPLY WITHOUT PRICE. WE HAVE HAD ANOTHER CONFER~ 
“ENCE OVER THE LAMP PATENT AT WHICH SIR FREDK. BRAMWELL, WRe WEB- 
“STER, DReHOPKINSON, SHELFORD BIDWELL, THEODORE WATERHOUSE AND MY~ 
SELF WERE PRESENT. IT 1S ONLY ONE OF MANY THAT HAVE BEEN HELD 
LATELY AND IT HAD THE SAME RESULT AS OUR PREVIOUS ONES. THE 


GENERAL VERDICT NOW 1S AS FOLLOWS;= THE PATENT IS NOT WITHOUT ITS 
WEAKNESSES - IT 1S NOT A PATENT OF WHICH YOU CAN SAY - ''ON IT WE 
ARE SURE TO WIN'' =~ IT IS NOT A PATENT WHICH YOU SHAKE IN THE FACE 


OF INFRINGERS, AND CAUSE THEM TO QUAIL AND TRENBLE < BUT NEVERTHE- 
LESS If 1S A PATENT WHICH CAN BE DEFENDED, AND WHICH OUGHT TO BE 
DEFENDED. IT IS -A PATENT WHICH CANNOT BE AHENDED. THERE 3S NO 
WAY BY WHICH IT CAN BE IMPROVED BY PROCESS OF DISCLAIMER. THERE 
'S IN FACT NOTHING IN IT WHICH IF DISTRAINED WOULD RENDER THE RE~ 
~MAINDER OF THE PATENT STRONGER. THIS FACT 1S AN IMPORTANT ONE 
SINCE THERE IS AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE OF VALUE ATTACHED TO A PAT= 
“ENT BY THE COURTS WHICH COMES TO THEM IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM RATHER 
THAN IN A DRESS ALL TATTERED AND TORNe THIS BEING THE GENERAL 
VERDICT AND IT HAVING BEEN REACHED NOW SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION 
IT WAS FINALLY PRESENTED TO THE BOARD AT THEIR LAST MERTING AND A, 
MR.WATERHOUSE WAS INSTRUCTED TO PUSH THE PRELIMINARIES FORYARD WiIgt 
THE UTMOST DISPATCH, AND PREPARE FOR BATTLE ALL ALONG THR LINk. 
YOU MUST THEREFORE LOOK FOR SOME INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS BEFORE 
LONG AND ONE OF THE GREATEST CONTESTS THAT EVER WAS FOUGHT OVER 

AN ELECTRICAL INVENTION. THE BRUSH CO., StgENS, SWANK, LANE~Fox 
MAXIM, AND IN FACT THE WHOLE ARRAY WILL BE UNITED AGAINST. US. 17 
1S A MONEY. POWER THAT WILL BE ABLE TO PROLONG THE CONTEST ALMOST 
INDEFINITELY; BUT ON THE OTHER HAND YOU HAV THE SUPPORT OP THE 
PUBLIC, THEY BELIEVE THAT THE THING BELONGS TO YoU. you HAVE 
PROVEN THAT IN ITS PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT YOU ARE A LONG WAY AHEAD 
OF ALL OF THEM. YOU WILL HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE BEST SCYENTIFIC 
AND LEGAL TALENT IN ENGLAND, ‘OU WILL HAVE THE MORAL AND FINANCIAL 








a 





oy 


SUPPORT OF SOME OF THE BEST KNOWN AND WORT HIGHLY nespectitggs 
NANES IN ENGLISH FINAMETAL CIRCLES} AND FURTHER THAN THAT YOUR 


PATENT WILL BE FOUGHT THE BITTER END AT ANY Cost 
THEY HAVE VOTED THAT £30,000 BE Si AS! E FOR £ PURPOSE AS A 
STARTER AND ARE FULLY PREPARED TO - ‘CASE THE HOUSE or 


LORDS IF NECESSARY. MEANTIME THEY SUPPLEMENT THIS POWERFUL ASSER- 
“TION OF THEIR RIGHTS BY HOLDING OUT THE OLIVE BRANCH OF PEACE AND 
IT 1S NOT AT ALL IMPROBABLE THATTHE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL OUR 
ANTAGONISTS (SWANK) WILL BE THE #TRET.ONE TO SURRENDER AND RECOO= 
“NIZE OUR CLAIMS. WHATEVER MAY BE DONE HOWEVER, IN THIS DIRECTION 
IT IS DISTINCTLY AGREED ALL ROUND, CAN ONLY BE DONE BY THE ABSOLUTE 
RECOGNITION OF OUR PATERTS, THE PRESENT PROPOSITION Id THAT A 
ROYALTY BE PAID US MM WE GRANTING A LICENSE TO MANUFACTURE UNDER 
OUR PATENT. IT 18 TOO EARLY, HOWEVER, IN THIS STAGE OF THE PRO- 
-CEEDINGS, TO VENTURE ANY OPIMION AS To WHAT 2! DONE. , 


PARLIAMENTARY BILL, We ARE ALL BEFORE PARLIAMENT WITH BEVERAL 
BILLS, ASKING FOR PRIVILEGES FOR TAKING UP STREETS = THERE ARE SIX 
OF us 4B wgellibe IN ALL, AND tHE GOVERNMENT 18 BEFORE PARLIAMENT 

WITH A GENERAL BILL ASKING THAT PRIVILEGES BE ACCORDED. WE HAVE 
DETERMINED TO UNITE IN SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT BILL AND WITHDRAW 


OUR ‘SEVERAL PRIVATE BILLS, WE HAVE DONE THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE 


“LEARNED THAT THE ENTIRE GAS INTEREST 1S CONSOLIDATED TO TIGHT US. 


A CONFERENCE AT WESTMINSTER LAST SATURDAY MORNING WAS CALLED FOR 
THE PURPOSE OF SELECTING SOMEONE TO DRAFT OUR CASE AND PRESENT TO 
PARLIAMENT A STATEMENT OF THE PREGENT STAGE OF THE: ART AS CONTRAST 
“ED WITH THE STATUS IM I1879(WHEN PARLIAMENT LAST HAD THE MATTER 
BEFORE THEM.}4ND THEN TO FOLLOW UP THIS STATEMENT BY VERBAL EVI- 


- “DENCE BEFORE THE PARLIAMENTARY COMNITTRE IN SUPPORT THEREGF. 


AFTER SONE LITTLE DISCUSBION THEY UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT 1 WAS ; 
THE MAN FOR THE WORK - WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? 3N ALL ENGLAND 
THESE SIX COMPANIES AGREED THAT THERE ITS NO MAN SO CAPABLE OF PRES: 
TENTING AND SUPPORTING THEIR CAUSE AS THE"YOUNG AMERICAy,’* WHO 
AT PRESENT REPRESENTS YOU, SIEMENS HAQONE OBJECTION TO NE AND _ 
THAT WAS THE FEAR THAT I WOULD BE TOO PARTISAN. SEVERAL DISSENT~ 
“ING VOICES WERE RAISED, SO MY INFORMANT TELLS ME —~ FOR 1 WAS NOT 
THERE, BUT IT WAS FINALLY ACCEPTED THAT I WAS QUITE CAPABLE “OF 


DEALING WITH THE QUESTION APART FROM EDISON. 1° THEREFORE | 


YESTERDAY, UPON RECEIVING A NOTICE OF NY SELECTION, DICTATED MY "| 
BagUyNARy STATEMENT AND SUPPLEMENTED 17 WITH THE- ASSURANCE, ay = 
COME BEFORE A COMMITTEEE IN SUPPORT OF EVERY ASSERTION CONTAINED | 


THEREIN, ' HAVE OF COURSE, AS PAR AS POSSIBLE. AVOIDED. ANY DIRECT 











ue 


REFERENCE TO YOUR OWN WORK, BUT I HAVE EXPLAINED TO MY FER FRIENDS 
TO-DAY THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A STATEMENT OF THE PRESENT 
STATE OF THE ART WITHOUT ASSERTING THAT CERTAIN THIHGS ARE DONE 
WHICH YOU, AND YOU ALONE ACCOMPLISH. OF COURSE THIS WILL COME 
OUT MORE CLEARLY ON TESTIMONY. TI UNDERSTAND THAT GIVING TESTIMONY 
OF THIS CHARACTER BEFORE A PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE, IS VERY LIKE 
GIVING TESTIMONY IN COURT. THE GAS COMPANIES WILL BE REPRESENTED 
BY ABLE COUNSEL FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHALLENGING EVERY STATEMENT 
THAT IS MADE AND TO BREAK IT DOWN FF POSSIBLE. UY ABILITY TO 
HOLD MY OWN UNDER CROSS-EXAMINATION, AS EVIDENCED BY NY TESTIMONY 
IN THE TELEPHONE CASE BUT A DAY OR TWO PREVIOUS, IS PROBABLY ONE 
OF THE CHIEF REASONS WHY 1! WAS SELECTED FOR THE WORK. AT ALL 
EVENTS I AM NOT MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE MATTER; IN POINT OF FACT 
Y AM RATHER EAGER FOR THE FRAY. THIS 1S MY ONE WORK WHICH 1 FEEL 
IT INCUMBENT ON ME TO DO YET, BEFORE LEAVING ENGLAND, AND RECOG- 
~NIZING ITS IMPORTANCE, Y HAVE CONSENTED TO REMAIN IN THIS COUNTRY 
A MONTH LONGER FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACCOMPLISHING IT. 

‘ YOUR CONSENT TO MY RETURN ON THE DAY FIXED IN MY PREVIOUS 
COMMUNICATION, YOU WILL OBSERVE HAS COST YOU NOTHING SINCE f DO N@ 
PROPOSE TO AVAIL MYSELF OF 1T3 BUT NEVERTHELESS I AM JUST AS MUCH 
OBLIGED. YOUR REMARK ABOUT. YOUR NOT COMING TO ENGLAND; BE CAUSE, 
FORSOOTH, I AM SO ANXIOUS TO LEAVE ~ 1S A LITTLE STRAINED, Iv 
DON'T FOLLOW, BECAUSE I FIND LIFE IN ENGLAND VERY UNSATISFACTORY, 
THAT A MERE VISIT TO THAT COUNTRY WOULD BE UNPLEASANT. ON THE 
CONTRARY, I EXPECT TO VISIT ENGLAND FREQUENTLY MYSELF AND TO 
DERIVE A GOOD DEAL OF PLEASURE IN DOTNG 80, 

I HAVE GIVEN ORDERS ALREADY THAT ALL THE EXHIBITS AT 
CRYSTAL PALACE, NOT STRICTLY BELONGING TO THE ELECTRIC LIGHT, 
SHALL BE PACKED AND SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO yeu, SO SOON AS THE EXHIBE 
=TION CLOSES.: 

1 HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TELEGRAM AUTHORIZING GOUREA) 
TO PAY ME 5 PER CENT OF THE ORIENTAL. IT DID NOT RET ME AS MUCH 
AS 1 EXPECTED (As USUAL) FOR THE REASON THAT GOUREAUD EXACTED OF 
ME THAT I SHOULD PAY 5 PER CENT OF THE £4,000 You HE SUBSCRIB- 
-ED TO THE TELEPHONE CO., AND § PER CENT OF THE £ YOU AND HE 
SUBSCRIBED, TO THE AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT. THIS TOOK £250, OUT OF.

HIS SHARE, WHICH WAS TO HIM A CONSIDERABLE WINDFALL, AND WENT AWAY 
QUITE HAPPY. HE RECEIVED FROM THE SALE OF HIS UNITEDS AND FROM 
THIS ORIENTAL TOGETHER, £1600 Atiiuipihg<@DD-Pmimes IN. CASH. THERE : 
1S A MATTER HOWEVER, WHICH HE HAS TO. ADJUST WITH YOU, AND WHICH HE

ASKED ME TO WRITE TO YoU ABOUT. IT 1S THIS} GOUREAUD HAS 
CHARGED YOU WITH YOUR PROPORTION OF THE £4,000 SUBSCRIBED To THE 
SUPPLY CO., NOT DEDUCTING BATCHELOR'S PORTION THEREFROM. THE 
RESULT IS THAT BATCH. GETS THE ENTIRE AMOUNT DUE TO HIM WHILE you 
HAVE PAID TO GOUREAUD, ON. ACCOUNT OF THIS SUPPLY CO., A PERCENTAGE

PREFACE. 


It is not my intention, in connection with these notes, to 
enumerate and explain the various apparatus that Mr. Edison 
has for the registration of an Bleatrio Current, but to simply 
lay down such precepts ‘as-may nid the incipiont scholar, 


whose duty it is to manipulate and manage the meter. 


This being my sole object, an explanation of only one 
apparatus, which is now used by the Edison Electric Light 


Companies, is given.

a - THE EDISON METER. 


The principle upon which this Meter is founded is known 
s igs ios as Electro-Metallurgy, that is, the disruption or tearing away 
=. of a nietal by Electricity. 


FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. 


If an Electric Current, no matter how generated, whether 
by a dynamo machine, or voltaic element, be ,made to pass 
by means of platinum electrodes through some acidulated 
: water, electrolysis takes place, that is, the current has the 
ue : ) ae power of loosening and separating. certain chemical com- 

os pounds—in other words it analyses, decomposes, and 
1 es separates the constituents of the compound through which it 
. .  -has passed. Any substance which is susceptible to decom- 
sf position by un Electric Current is termed an “Electrolyte.” 
By the term Electrodes is always understood the two 
i extremities or poles which lead from a source of Electricity. 
of Electrodes are divided into Anodes and Cathodes. or 
ae The positive Electrode is‘ called the Anode, and the 
4 negative the Cathode. : ; 
The products of decomposition, or the substances which 
‘gather at each, pole during electrolysis, are termed “ions,” 
That which gathers ot the anode is called Anion, and that 
. 4 which gathers at thé cathode is called Cation. ; 
ua paeee ‘ : eee Tho amount of ourrent required for decomposition varies 
: greatly with different electrolytes. , a 
acm. Now in the above mentioned’ case, where the current 
ie: ; passes through -acidulated water, oxygen gas is liberated at - 
the anode, and hydrogen at the cathode. - . - oo 















4 


If now into.this liquid which contains the acid somo 
oryatals of sulphate of copper (CuSo,) be thrown electrolytic 
action will still continue, but in a different manner, oxygen 
will be evolved, and copper will be deposited on one of the 
platinum cleotrodes, while the hydrogen takes the place of 
the copper in the solution. It may be ropresented chemi- 
cally by H,O + CuSO, before the current has passed, and 
0 + Cu + H, SO, after the current has passed, eo. 

If in the above experiment, o copper'electrode be substi- 
tuted for the positive, it will be found that no gas will be 
liberated, the hydrogen, as before, will take the place of the 


‘copper in the solution—the oxygen, instead of escaping at . 


the anode, will combine with the sopper of the electrode and 
the sulphuric acid, to form sulphate of copper. 

The chemical forces, called into action by the current, aro 
80 beautifully balanced, that in our: last experiment the 
quantity of copper, supplied by tho positive electrode, exactly 
equals the quantity withdrawn from our solution and 
deposited upon the negative electrode, . 


LAWS OF ELECTROLYSIS, , 
The following were domonstrated and discovered by 

Faraday. : 

Electrolysis cannot take place unless the eleotrolyte is a, 
conductor, o ; 

The energy of the electrolytic action of the ourrent is the 
same in all paits, 

’ The same quantity of electricity—that is, the same electric 
current—decomposes chemically equivalent quantities of all 
the bodies which it traverses; from which it follows that the 
weights of the elements separated into theso electrolytes are 
to each other as their chemical equivalents, For instance, 
in the decomposition of water it will be found that for every 


18 parts of water decomposed two parts will be hydrogen 


and 16 oxygen; in order to form water from'its two com- . 


Ponent gases we must take them in the above ratio, 

Tt also follows from the preceding law that the quantity of 
the substance which is decomposed is proportional to the 
total quantity of electricity which passed through it, and is 





[ENCLOSURE] 


» 
v 


independent of the time during which the electricity passed; 
the quantity corresponding to the passage of one unit is 
called the electro-chemical equivalent of the substance, 
Thus, when one unit of electricity passes through a solution 
of sulphate of zinc, having platinum electrodes, one électro- 
chernical equivalent of zinc ‘appears at the cathode, and 
one electro-chemical equivalent of oxygen at the anode, « 
while one electro-chemical equivalent of sulphate of zinc has 
disappeared. If, in the above experiment, zinc clectrodes 
were used, the action would be as follows :— : 
For‘one unit of electricity, one electro-chemical equiva. - 
lent of zinc would appear. at the cathode, one electro- 


’ chemical equivalent of oxygen at the anode, there uniting 


with the zinc and sulphuric to form another electro-chemical. 
equivalent of sulphate of zinc, and taking the place of the 
‘one just decomposed. This action continues, and keeps on 
depositing zinc on the cathode, and teking zinc off at the 
anode, ; } 

Upon the preceding Jaw has Mr. Edison based hig meter, 
and no matterhow much current passes through it, for every 
electrical unit or fraction (which unit is called a “ Weber,” 
there will be a corresponding number of unita or fraction of : 
a, unit of the metal deposited. 

The‘electric current’ is always associated with a flow of 
the components of the electrolyte ir opposite directions, 
This is called “ Electrolytic Conduction.” 


POLARISATION, 


If, in o circuit consisting of an electrolytic cell containing 
acidulated water, having platinum plates for electrodes, we 
insert a single voltaic clement together with a galvanometer 
to measure the current, we find that the strength of the 


current rapidly diminishes on olosing the circuit, - 


Neither oxygen nor hydrogen appear in a gaseous form.at 


. the electrodes, but the electrodes have acquired new pro- | 


perties, showing that a chemical action has taken place at - 
the surface of the plates. If now the battery be dis¢on- 
nected, and the galvanometer alone, with the electrolytic cell, 


, 























6 


remains in the circuit, it will be found on closing it that a 
current is traversing, and showing on the galvanometer that 
it is in an opposite direction to the original current. This 
current rapidly diminishes in strength and soon vanishes. 
It can also be seen that this current is not as strong as the 
primitive one. This acquirement of tho electrodes is termed 
Polarisation. 

Now, in the construction of an clectric meter, such ele- 
ments must be used ag will not, under any circumstances, 
polarise, for suppose an electrolytic cell, which was capable 
of being polarised was used to ascertain the amount of 
current that was passing through the line in which it was 
inserted it would, in the first place, have the tendency to 
weaken the original current, and, if the instrument was 
shunted, as is essential in electric lighting, this counter 
current would all the while resist the original current, 
causing an erroneous deposit; it depositing less metal than 
would be deposited if there were no polarisation. Then, 
again, when the current on the line ceases to flow, this 
counter current would begin and redeposit some of the metal 
which the original current had deposited. ‘Thus we see why 
any clements capable of polarisation would not do for an 
‘accurate meter. ‘Then uguin, there is another consideration 
that comes into play, and that is, that nearly all elements 


when immersed in a solution, generate a small current, for: 
example: two plates of copper in a solution of sulphate of _ 


copper, whon connected with a galvanometer, will indicate 
the presence of a current, _ Now, in the above case, when 
the electrolytic cell was shunted it had, necessarily, a closed 
circuit, ‘The circuit being closed this current, as indicated 
by the galvanometer in the last experiment, would become 
active, and deposit metal while there was no current circu- 
lating in the line. This current, although feeble, will in 
time deposit a considerable amount of cupper, and cause 
aii inaccuracy almost inconceivable, An endless number 
of experiments on this point’ were made by mo, under 
Mr. Edison’s direction, employing every element known, and 
on these grounds I state the above facts. A copper 
deposition cell, and some other metals, is suitable for large 


[ENCLOSURE] 











7 


currents, and when one takes the plates out of the solution, 
immediately after the current ceases to flow, but when it is 
required to register a very small current, such as yqisg of 8 . 
weber, and when the deposition cell is always on a closed 
circuit, it becomes necessary to use something else than 
copper in order to obtain accurate results, 

Now, in order to get rid of this difficulty of polarisation, 
Mr. Edison found that by using electrodes of pure zinc, amal- 
gamated with pure mercury, using great precaution so as to 
have no other elements which are capable of exciting a 
counter clectromotive force, exist in thé combination, so 
that undor these conditions there is almost no polarisation, , 
and great practical accuracy is ensured when an infinitesimal 
quantity of current is desired to be measured. The same is 
true if the currents be of large dimensions. 

I may add that it be advisable in all electrical researches, 
whenever if becomes necessary to ascertain the magnitudes 
of an unknown current, and especially if it be small, that in- 
stead of using the copper deposition to arrive at our answer, 
an electrolytic element consisting of pure zincs amalgamated 
with pure meroury in a chemically pure solution of sulphate 
of zinc be used. The above conclusions have been arrived 

at from an exhaustive series of experiments carried on at Mr. 
Edison’s laboratory, and which terminated in the adoption of. 
zino plates for his meters. 


RESISTANCE OF ELECTROLYTES AND METALS, 


It is very difficult to measure the electrio resistance of 
some electrolytes on account of the polarisation of ‘the elec- 
trodes. Now, in order to overcome this difficulty, one must 
use, as stated in the preceding article, zinc electrodes. Thoro 
are other methods for ascertaining the résistance of solutions, 
but it is not necessary for me here to explain such methods. 

_ We are dealing with sulphate of zinc solution, which we use 
“in our meters, and we have for our electrodes zinc plates. . 
All we have to do is to observe the rules given in -these notes - 
on the préparation of the zino plates, which ‘includes also the 


- solution. . Then by inserting the cell in the proper arm of a 


, Wheatstano bridge; we can very easily ascertain what its . 























8 


ture increases, or when the temperature decreases the resist- 
ance increases. Thus we see it has properties similar to 
carbon, for .carbon will decrease its resistance when its 
temperature is increased and vice versd. 
. Just the reverse of those exhibited -by the metals. For take 

a piece of copper wire, and find its resistance, it will be found 

as the temperature increases, 80 also its resistance: increases, 
- exhibiting contrary effects when its temperature decreases, 

We, therefore, lay down the following laws, namely :— 

That the resistance of electrolytes diminish as the temper- 
ature increases, 

.The resistance of metals increases as the temperature 
increases, 

Now it is obvious that, if we ascertain the resistance of a 
certain solution at different temperatures, we can ascertain 
the-difference of its resistance between such temperatures. 
For example, a solution of sulphate of :zinc at 0° C. offers’ 

. @ resistance of 1°80 ohms, and when at a temperaturo of 
50° C. ita resistance is diminished to 34 ohms, Therefore 
the difference between those two temperatures i is— 
0° ...... 1:80 


50... “34 


: 1-46 
showing a decrease of 1'46 ohms between the limits of 0° 
and 50° C. Now, if we remember that this difference is in 
contrary: “direction to that of copper, it will be seen 


that if. we take’ a certain length of copper which’ 


changes its resistance between “0° and 50° in the same 
manner or proportion as the solution, that by placing the 
two in series, thet is in the same cirouit with each other one 


would compensate for the other, that while one diminishes _ 
the other increases, and the circuit in which they ate placed - 


maintains o constant: resistance and does not vary with the 
temperature. This point, regarding the contrary effects 


exhibited by solutions and metals, Mr. Edison has utilised - 


_ in his meter, and by its adoption he has a constant re- 


resistance is’ Now-here temperature plays an important part. | 
It will be found that its resistance decreases as the tempera- © 


' These properties are |

sistance in the circuit whore the deposition cells aro placed, 
and without which an electrié meter would be of no value 
where there is a change of temperature. : 

The laws regarding the resistance’ of metals are as 
follows :—Resistance in a wire of constant section and 
material is directly proportional to the length and inversely . 
proportional to the area of the cross section. 

The resistance of a solution is proportional to the distance 
between the plates and inversely to the surface of the plates. | 

It is needless for me to go further on explaining and 
demonstrating the theory of the meter, but I advise the 
party to whom the trust has beer given’ of managing and 
manipulating them to familiarize himself as much as possible, 
and acquaint himself with the laws relating to them. 


‘POINTS TO BE OBSERVED. 
ZINO PLATES. 


See that the copper wire terminating from the zinc plates, 
and especially at their junction, is well japanned, thereby 
creating good insulation. 

Use gréat precaution to prevent any exposure of tho 
copper terminals to the zino palphate solution. This is of 
vital importance. 

Always clean the ends of the copper terminals in a diluted 
solution of nitric acid. : 

This should be executed after the amalgation of the plates. 
In amalgamating, care should bo teken to remove any sur- 
plus meroury that may adhere to the plates. The process 
of amalgamation is as follows :— 

1st. Immerse your zinc plates in o diluted solution of 
sulphuric acid, and afterwards in a bath of pure mercury, 
Drain the. plates then, and rub them -with a piece of clean 
cloth, and always ‘with a downward motion, thereby causing 
the meroury, which has not yet-amalgamated with the zinc, 
to be gathered in one corner, 

This excess of mercury is very easily removed byt a little 
practice, so that the whole plate presents an even surface, 
The plate is then thoroughly dried by means of a clean 

f) 













































10 


towel, and then left in a warm place for a short time, so as 
to insure its being perfectly dry. After which, when it is 
at an air temperature, it is ready for weighing. Always 


be sure that the surplus mercury in the screw hole is out. « 


This is'done by running one of the hard rubber screws 
through it. 
SOLUTION FOR THE METER, : 


The solution should be made of 90 parts of pure sulphate 


-of zinc and 100 parts of pure water. Before putting it into 


the meters it should always be tested by the hydromoter 
which at 18° Centigrade (64° Fahr.) will give it, if made 
according to the above formula, a specific gravity of 1,53. 
The hydrometer being a standard at 16° Centigrade (60Fahr.). 
If any solution that has been used has by evaporation changed 
its specific gravity, it can always be standarized to the 
standard solution by means of the hydrometer. 


The important point to be observed in making the solu- ’ 


tion, is, that it be composed. of nothing but pure material; 
thatis, what is known in chemistry as being chemically pure. 


PUTTING THE ZING PLATES TOGETHER READY FOR USE, 


These must always be at @ certain distance from each 
‘other, and this affected by means of pieces of hard rubber, 
which have been carefully cut to 2 known size. 

Great accuracy is required for this task; and, as the piece 
of hard rubber is marked by means of a straight line running 
at right angles to the proper side, it is not difficult to always 
attain the desired results, : : 

This mark on the hard rubber must always be at right 
angles to the zinc plates, when the zinc plates are screwed 
together by means of a hard rubber screw. They must not 
be pressed very hard, but just enough tension given to keep 
them well together, Tho zinc plates are then immersed in 


the bottles containing the sulphate solution which ought - 
just to cover the top of the plates. They are then ready . 


for use, inserting them so that the current shall act on the 

proper plate. : S, ‘ 
It is often that, in the manipulation of the zinos the copper 

terminals become coated with mercury. When this is the 


[ENCLOSURE] 

















































ll 


onae, the terminal ought to be heated in o spirit lamp until 
all the mercury has evaporated. It becomes necessary if 
the heat of the lamp hes scorched the japan, to remove it 
altogether and re-japan it, : 


-* TO ASOERTAIN THE DIRECTION OF THE CURRENT. , 


In setting a meter up at any place, the direction of the 
current must always be known, and the simplest method of 
ascertaining it is by means of a pieco of bibulous paper 
which has been immersed in a solution of potassium ferri- 
cyanide (K;Fe6CN). Take this pieco of paper and lay | 
it on a piece of tinfoil or any other good conductor, and 
connect it by means of a wire to one of the main lines, to 
the other line connect another wire which has for its ter- 
minal a picce of iron. Now use this iron terminal as though 
it were a pencil upon tho paper which has been saturated 
with the potassium ferricyanide, and see if you get a mark, 
or in other words decomposition. : 

Tho positive polo (wire leading from the copper in a 
voltaic element) will always give and produce a blue mark, 

Another good methed is by using. bibulous paper which 
has been soaked in a solution of starch, to which potassium 
iodide is added. Now on touching the paper with, the. 
electrodes, 2 blue spot is produced at the positive pole. 

Now we know that the current at the positive pole always 
flows from its source, and returns again by means of the 
negative wire. Knowing, therefore, the direction of the 
aurrent, it is very easy to place the meter and connect it 
with the proper wires, so that the plate that has been 
weighed at the station shall receive the deposition. 


MANIPULATION OF ZINCS PREVIOUS TO 
ESTIMATION OF CURRENT. 

When the zines are taken out of a meter through which 
the current has flowed they should first be washed in a 
gentle stream of water, care should be taken that the flow 
of the water be not heavy and with force, or elas some of 
the deposition might be carried off. After this is done they 
should be unscrewed, and separated from each other and 

















12 


each again being washed, the final washing should bo with 
distilled water. i 

Then the plates are to be laid gontly upon o clean towel, 
or any other kind of clean cloth, and covering them with 
the same, gently press upon them, so as to let the towel 
absorb as much water and moisture as possible, when this 
ia done, lay them aside in some warm place (about 
70° or 80° F".) so as to be sure that they retain no moisture. 
Then when they are at the same temperature as the room in 
which tho balance is, they are ready for weighing. 

_ In the manipulation of the zines tho greatest care should 
be taken after they have been weighed that they are not 
rubbed in any manner nor handled much with tho hand, in 
fact do not touch the amalgamated surface as the mero 
touching it with a greasy hand will tarnish it thereby 
-producing resistance. : ; 

‘When the solution that has been used in o meter returns 
to the station, it should be put in o separate jar until tested 
with the hydrometer and adjusted if wrong to the 
originel sp. gr. The used solution must first be filtered 
before any standardizing is done. , 

Jt is necessary that pure mercury should be used in the 
amalgamation of the zinc plates. Now ordinary mercury 
of commerce contains a great many impurities, both 
mechanical and otherwise. To free the meroury from 
mechanical impurities such as floating dust and dirt, put 

‘itinto a bag of chamois leather and squeeze it through, or 

use o paper filter with a small pin hole at the bottom, the 
* mercury coming through this hole, will leave tho dust, &., 
behind. ‘To free it from foreign elements, such as lead, 
copper, &e., put the meroury into a flask containing one 
part of water and one part of nitric acid, shaking it 


well, and leaving it u reasonable time to dissolve the — 


foreign matter. After which wash it well with water, it 
being then ready for use. 


WEIGHING. 


In using the balance, care should be taken that it be 


always adjusted, as some of tho meroury of the zincs might 


[ENCLOSURE] 


13 


adhero to the paper on the scale plan, thereby causing an . 


error. Ono should never handle or touch any part of the 
balance except when adjusting, as the heat of the hand will 
causean error, The balance should always be protected from 
any air drafts, and the slides or windows always down when 


any weighing is done. The weights should always be ° 


handled by means of the tweezers. The balance should rest 


on a firm and solid table, so as to be free from vibrations, 


and must always be adjusted so as to be level. 

Be careful so as not to have any light in close proximity 
to one end of the balance, such os a gas burner or an oil 
lamp, as the heat from tho latter spreads unevenly upon the 
balance, thereby producing uneven expansion of the arm 
and causing considerable error.” 


METHOD OF CALCULATION. 


Whenever a meter is set up so as to register the current 
at any place the weight of the plates are always recorded, 
so that when it comes back and is weighed again the gain 
is found, and from which gain the amount of current is 
easily computed that has passed through the meter. 

The formula to ascertain the amount of current that has 
passed through a meter is:— 

Amount of goin fo milligrammos. 
1-886 

1:336 is our constant for one Weber per hour in our small 
meters (25 lights). : : 

It may be well to illustrate the above tule by means of 
an example. ; . ; 

Suppose one set of zizics, before sent out, weight as 
follows :— ; 


__ Onrrent of Webors 
= ‘acting ono hour, 


Quartor yoarly, 


Monthly Zino, 
92,000 Milligrammoes, 


92,800 Milligrammos, 


Now after being in a housa for about one month, having - 


about 20 lights and using them about four hours a day, we 
find when the zincs are taken back to the station and 
weighed they have the following weight :— ; 


Monthly zinc. Quartor yearly. * 
95,817 milligrs. 08,229'2 milligrs, 












































Se ray 


: 
{ 
{ 
! 





SPST 


. 14 
Now taking their original weight, and subtracting it 


from the latter, we find the gain— 





Monthly zinc, Quartor yearly, 
95,817 93,0999 
02,800 92,600 

2,017 629-3 


Now we first see if dur quarter yearly meter corresponds 
in proportion to our monthly one it must have about one- 
fourth the deposit. Therefore, dividing the gain of the 
monthly by the gain of the quarter yearly, we get our 
answer 25;¢4 = 4 which shows that it is allright, 

It must be remembered that the quarter yearly is not 
taken out every month, when the first one is, but, as its 
name indicates, cvery quarter of a year or threo months, 

Well, we have found that the gain on the monthly meter 
was 2,517° milligrammes, and this divided by 1:336 gives 
us the webers that passed through that meter in one hour. 
That is, taking all the current that passed through .the 
moter in that month, and concentrating it down to one 
hour, we have £44, = 1,883. Webers, , 

If the Company were charging A* per Weber, per hour, 
the above would amount to 1,883°0 x A* 

A WEnsr is equivalent to 20°48 standard candles burning 
for one hour, ; 

The above. consumer has, therefore, had 1,883 20°48 
=, 38564. candles, ; 

In order to arrive at about how.many lamps were burn- 
ing when the above amount of current was consumed, 
namely, 1,883, Webers, taking, as wo havo taken, 4 hours 
a day, for $0 days, making in oll 120 hours, we divide 
1883, by 120—thus giving the Webers consumed in ‘one 
how, which will be 3388 = 15-7 Webors, 

Now, as each lamp, under the conditions we have named 
before, consumes }} of a Webor, wo have 20 x 34= 422 
=15'7 Webers. 

Thus we see in both cases the facts corroborate with 
each other, : 

It must be remembered it makes no difference whether a 


Weber of current flows for 10 hours, or two Webers for 


[ENCLOSURE] 








Sa aa 


15 


5 houra, or five Webers for 2 hours, the deposition of metal 
will in each chse be the same. 

The average light estimated in standard candles of what 
Gas Companies call a 5-foot burner, does not give more 
light than about 12 candles, 

It becomes necessary in order to obtain an equivalent 
amount of light, equal in intensity to an Edison lamp, 
giving 16 candles, to employ a 7-foot gas burner. 

From the above facts it is obvious that 44. Webers = 16 
candles, or in other words, 44 Webers is equal to a 7-foot 
gas burner. Thus, in order to ascertain the equivalent of 
how many feet of gas we have consumed in our Electric 
Meter, we must divide our total number of Webers by H, 
the equivalent of a 7-foot burner. Thus, in the above 
example our Webers amounted to 1,883, and this divided 


by i= “EE 2,396, bumers, burning 7 feet of gas per 


hour. 

The constant for a 50-light meter is 1.877, which must 
be used instead of 1.336 when computing the current that 
has passed through such a meter. 


GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE METER. 


The Meter is divided into two compartments. The first, 
or the one on the left side, is termed the monthly cell. 
This is taken out ‘every month by some employce of tho 
Company, and auother cell is substituted for it. The one 
taken out is returned to the Station, whero the plate that 
has received the deposition is weighed, ‘The cell on the 
right hand of the meter is termed the quarter yearly cell, 
and is a check cell, The party that has access to the 
monthly cell has not to the quarter yearly cell.. ‘This quarter 
yearly cell is taken out every three months and the deposit 
weighed. Its deposit must bear a certain proportion to the 
sum of the monthly. moter deposit for those three months, 
If its deposit does not agree in proportion to the monthly 
cell, there is something wrong, or somebody has tampered . 


’ 














Thus we sce the object of this auxiliary cell, In 



























the diagram A is the monthly cell, and <A’ is the quarter 
yearly cell, B'and Bis the compensating resistance, the 
object of which was explained on page 8. In the small 
meters (25-light ones), the compensating resistance is 7-5 
ohme at zero, and all measurement of resistance should be 
made at zero, or reduced to it, In the large. meters 
(60-light ones) the compensating resistance amounts to 7° 
ohms at zero; 
Cand C' is the respective shunts from which the cells A 
and A' receive their current, The shunt C has o rosistance 
of ‘01 of an ohm, while the shunts C' has a resistance just 
one-fourth of that ‘0025 of an ohm. We see thus why one 


cell receives four.times as much curtent as the other, one 


shunt being four times es large. ‘ 


D isa Thermo arrangement which Mr, Edison has devised 


in order to prevent the freezing of the sulphate of zinc solu- 
tion in the winter. It consists of a strip of brass and 
steel rivetted well together, Now one of these two atrips 


’

expands more than the other, it therefore bows in one direc- 
tion when heated, and as the other strip contracts more than 
the former when there is a decrease in temperature the com- 
bination bows in the opposite direction. It is, therefore, 80 
adjusted, that where the temperature of the: atmosphere is 
about 42° Fit bows and makes contact at the point I’, which 
completes the circuit through the lamp E. The lamp heats 
the meter, and the heat takes effect on the thermo strip 
which then breaks the circuit again, until the heat is 
dissipated 1, 1', 2 and 2' is the place where the main lines 
enter and return. G is tho partition which divides the two 
cella from each other. 

.The shunts used in the meters have a resistance of -01 of 
an ohms at about 85° I"., and simply consist of a band of 
German silver. It becomes necessary to adjust each one 
with a Standard resistance, as one cannot rely upon the 
length, thickness, and breadth of the band, as- the alloy is 
not equal throughout the whole length, nor do we find that 
its diameter is exactly the same at different parts. Now the 
best manner to make a shunt is to put a band of German 
silver in circuit with a standard shunt or a standard resis- 
tance, including a battery, and take your deflections with a 
high resistance reflecting galvanometer, Fig, A will illustrate 
best the plan, Here we have battery B which ought to be a 





.

anda band of German silver B, which we wish to adjust so as 
to make it equal to the one A: allare connected in series, and 
the circuit completed. Now we connect by means of small 
wires at @ and a' at the standard shunt the two ends of the 
reflecting galvanometer G and get a deflection, this is, suppose 
300. Now we connect the galvanometer to the wires leading 
tothe band of german-silver at band B and B' and notice their 
doflection. If it be not the same as our standard one, we 
move the wire F, which is capable of being slided up and 
down,-a little further on, until we have a deflection equal to the 


* standard. Care should be taken that in handling the band it 


is not heated by the hand as the temperature of A wants to 
be the same as that of B, having determined the point which 
makes both shunts alike, the wire I is then carefully 


soldered. Now as this is a shunt that has a resistance of © 
-01 of an ohms, it is also required to have the one which has © 


‘0025 of an ohms juxtaposited with’ it. In fact the two 
shunts are made from one strip .for where we leave off on 
the large shunt, we begin with the small one, for instance 
having soldered the wire F in the fig., we take another wire 
with o slit in and place it about H. And another small wire 
at the point H. Now.we get the deflection between B' and 
H, ond adjust it so that it gives a deflection one fourth of 
the deflection the standard one will give. P in the figure 


is a block of paraffin, with 5 holes containing mercury, and 


the extremities of the wires, immersed into them, thereby 
saving the trouble of connecting the galvanometer ter- 
minals with the wires, and also. rendering great rapidity in 
manipulations, For one has only put the ends of the 
galvanometer into 1 ond “2 and we get. the deflection 
between a and a' when they are immersed into 3 and 4 we 
get the deflection between B'and B*, and when into 4and 5, 
the deflection between B and H. : 


Before beginning to adjust a strip, of German silver, © 


heat it to redness over Bunsen burner, and then. clean 


theoxydized surface byimmersing it in some dilute nitric acid. °° 


‘The one thing that should always be remembered in test- 
ing, is, that all your connections be good, and that none are 
partial ones, :

In making and adjusting compensating resistances one 
must have them in a place where they are not subjected 
. to a variation of temperature, in a small box for example, 





where the two extremities lead out as shown in the figure M, 
which also shows how the connections on the Wheatstone 
bridge is.made, when connected for measuring resistance. 
“q” ig the box containing the compensating resistance 
which we have to adjust, there is a thermometer in the box 
in‘order to ascertain thetemperature. The two ends of the 
resistance are then connected to the points 1 and 2 on the © 

. pridge, between 3 and 2 a battery is inserted with a key 
for making and closing the circuit, and between the points 
land 4 the reflecting galvanometer. Now, supposing our 
bridge B is at o temperature of 18° cont, which at that 
temperature tho box is correct, we also find that our tem- 
perature in the box A is 18°. Our compensating resistance 
must therefore be adjusted to 8-01 ohms if its resistance is’ 
or supposed to be 75 ohms at zero. For we know that the ~ 
difference detween 0° and 18° cent. is on the Fahr. scale, 
82°4°, therefore, by our. table on page 21, we seo that the 
constant for thirty degrees is 10650, and for.two degrees 


‘ a ee 2 ae * in 








20 


10042. We therefore add the fractional part of tho latter 
to the constant for thirty degrees, which makes 


1.0650-+-"0042=1-0692 


and this multiplied by 7-5 equals 8:01 ohms. . 

We can arrive at the same results and with more precision 
without having to convert cent. degrees into Fahr. degrees 
by employing Dr. Mathessen’s formula :— 

The resistance R of the metal at the temperature T 
expressed in degrees centigrade may be calculated from the 
resistance / at 0° centigrade. : 


R= ¥(L + T -00 3824 + 00000 126 T*) 


Thus our resistance at 0° C is 7-5 ohms, and we want — 


‘to see what it is at 18° we therefore multiply 18. by 
003824 18. X 003824 = 068832 adding 1: we have 
1-068832 now adding to this the product of 18? by -00000126 
we have 18 X 18 = 324 X .00000126 = .000 50824 and this 
product added to 1:068832 we have 


1068832 
00050824 * 
1-069 . 


Therefore our constant is 1:069 and. this multiplied by 


75 = gives about 8:01 ohms. If it were the compensation. 


resistance for the 50 light meters we would multiply the 
constant 1:069-by 7, which would be 7:48 ohms, 


_ (The theory of a Wheatstone bridge is found almost in any 
text book on Electricity, and I advise the party who does— 
-not understand it to look it up). 
The following table will help to compute the variation of 
resistance of wires at varying temperatures, from a low 


temperature to a higher one.

Thus, for example: if we have a resistance of 7 ohms. at 
zero, what would it be at 60 Fahr? Knowing that zero 
equals 32 F°, and we wish to find the resistance at G0, there 
is a difference of 28 deg. betweon these limits, Multiplying 
7 by 1:0605, which is our constaut for 28 deg., we have the 


_ resistance, 7 X 1:0605 = 7-4235 ohms., which is our answer, 


Every meter should be numbered and its record kept in a 
book, which is ruled in the following manner :—

» pase BALFORD, | “oe 
It is gotting almost too late in the day to speak of tho 
success of tho cloctric light—that was- demonstrated 
beyond question at tho Crystal Palnce Exhibition. It 
remains, however, for the light to-be put to the purposes 
of every-day life. An important step in this direction 
hos boen taken by Messrs. Mathor ond Platt, of tho 
Salford Ironworks, whore, for the first time in England, 
tho Edison system hasbeen applied to the practical 
purpose of illuminating the offices and workshops. The 
.olectricity is induced from two. “dynomo-eloctrical.;. 2 *

The district, the monopoly of which is secured to the Company, includes the whole 
of the County of Lancaater, except the South-west Parliamentary Division, and that 
part of the county which lies North and North-west of Morecambe Bay; it also 


: mole the border towns of Staleybridge, Dukinfield, Hyde, sauce and Todmorden.

The Company will therefore be the sole licensees for this district of all Mr. Edison’s 
patents for electric light and power, except os ‘above-mentioned. 


- The light from the Edison Incandescent Lamp is produced by the electric current 
being passed through a carbon filament or thread of high resistance fixed in.a glass 
bulb or sbade from which the- ait. has: been, exhausted... There is no: consumption 
of carbon.and no vitiation of air. If broken though’ enveloped in the folds of | 
muslin the light is harmlessly and instantaneously extinguished. Ench. light is 
controlled by a tap, singly or in groups. The light is of a pure and soft colour, i is not 
fatiguing to the eye, and gives out less than one-fifteenth of the heat of yas, and is 


* absolutely steady. According to the opinion of eminent counsel ‘Mr. Edigon, under his 


patents, has the sole right to manufacture and sell the Incandescent Lamp, consisting of 
a carbon filament in a vacuum, under whatever name that lamp may be known. 


The operations ‘of the Company ‘will include the lighting by contract of houses, 


* manufactories, public !buildings, streets, towns, docks, mines, &c., and the application of . - 


electricity to all purposes, except as before mentioned. The Company. will ‘be enabled 
to deal with municipal corporations and other local authorities, and rhaké arrangements 
with | them for Jighting the district, or supplying cee for Any oe pornos 


* within the powers of the Company. 


It.is intended to grant egneessions to; local Companies to be formed for establishing 
and working the system i in any , of the, towns, within the eect nia oe ' a 

¢ ‘. 

The Edison system of Blectrio Lighting, the details of which -are- -protected by the 
thirty-nine patents, which ‘arp: included »i jin, dthe;agreement with this Company, is as 0 
whole (including all, operations And processes, from the generation of electricity tothe 
registration of the quantity used: by the conaumet) ) conaideted ‘by 'the highest authorities 
to be the. most. successful and -effective which ma hitherto been produced... The 











“electric pressure is not sufficient to inconvenience anyone grasping the electric main 
wires, whilst with most other machines in use instant death would be the result of 


such an action. 


By this system the risk of fire is reduced to a minimum, and this, it is hoped, will 
lead to a general reduction in the rates of insurance against fire charged to the occupiers 
of premises lit by the Edison Electric Light. 


As an example of the work which can be done it may be sienthoael that, at the 
present time, the Holborn Viaduct, and the houses and shops on each side, including 
: the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Station, Messrs, Spiers and Pond’s Hotel, 
\-—__--- ——and-the City Temple, are now lighted by the Edison Electric Light Company Limited 
. according to the Edison system, and all the lamps (about 938) used for this purpose 

care supplied by a single Edison dynamo placed in a central position. 





The most important feature in o system of electric lighting is the equal, continued, 
% ‘and steady distribution of the electric current, and in this respect Mr, Edison’s system far 
-surpasses the other systems which have” “been developed. . There is, doubtlese, a great 
:fature for this system in supplying cleciticity from a central station to houses and *: = 
works, where it can be used for lighting j parpors or for a motive power. 








The consideration to be paid to the-Edison Electric Light Company Limited is - 
~the : aum of £50,000, to be paid as follows: i-—£25,000 on the granting of the licence, saa 
£25,000 in six months, and the allotment to the Edison Electric Light Company = 
Limited of the 10,000 B Shares as fully ‘paid up. The last-mentioned sum of £25,000 ~ 
<is to be taken by the Edison Electric Light Company Limited in anticipation of profits » 
on one-half the B Shares as hereinafter mentioned. 









The profits of the Goutany will be first applied in ais past of a preferential 

Gumulative dividend at the rate of £5 per cent per annum on the amount paid or 

4, : credited as paid on the-A Shares. One-half of the remainder of such profits will 

# a ~~ be applied in payment of further dividend on the A Shares, and the remaining half 
will be divided amongat the B Shares. 


The ‘agreement with the Edison Electric Light Company Limited provides 
that no dividend will be paid on one-half of the B Shares until the dividends which 
would otherwise have been payable in Pape thereof shall amount to £25,000 with 
interest. at. 5 per cent, . :

full stops at the’ ends.” 





uch a manner that only a portion of the stirface of such 












L think it will be well before investigating these" 
claims..to consider what in the body of the eaaueianteen ‘ 
the Gaeaubes has told the reader. 

: ; Ye has told him that the object is to.attain the 


possibility of dividing the electric light up into a nun- 





er of lamps coupled in multiple ave and to do this with- 
ut neoding main conducting wires of thé great size cian 

: ; nust be used if these lamps were only of low sgatabenee 
; nd also without needing leading wires through the glass 
ft the Large size which with low eAsiatands would be ? y 
equired, and he has pointed out that these desirablé onds 

an be obtained by the use oreceebon of high résistari¢e 

Ley instead of the carbon pencils of low resistance pre- - 

ivusly empliyed and he says that the carbon of high re-_ 


istance that he wants ‘is’a mere wire or as he frequently 


calls it a “filament” that a carbonized thread will “ans- .~ |

some kind of filament of carbonizable material is to bo” 
aken and is to ‘be férmed to the requisite sae in which ; 
it is to ba used in the lamp and then is to"Bé"'éaPboni zed. | 
“He further ‘tells the reader that the Lamp “in whieh” the “> | 
incandescent carbon is to be contained is "to be an ontire

‘He further points out a mode of uniting the fragile

Saving regard to the fourth claim hich “is” for the 
thio’ herein desersabed for gonueine eho jiutina contact:

in a closed chamber substantially as set forth I am 07" 
od to believe that the words at the end of tho first 
slaim #eeourouree metallic wires, us set forth*, adnate 
mean that tho filament of carbon of high resistance 

lof the first ¢laim must be secured to métallie wires” 

us this particular manner forms the subject of the" 
fourth claim I thorefore belisve that’ the proper conat nie 


tion of the Ustis"elaim is to regard’ it as being. for“an 


: loctric ‘Lanip for giving light by incandescéneé consist— 
‘jing of ‘a“filament’ uf carbon of high rosigtance madé as“ ’

ndosirability of using fas in the bulb of the lamp in 
ieu of the employmont of an oxhaustod condition. Tam 
f opinion that this first claim would bo infringed 


y any ond ‘who employed in an incandescent lamp a carbon 


\pilament of high resistance made as described althdiigh ~ 


that Lamp might be not an exhausted lamp but one filled’ 


vith some gas which did not chemically unite with ‘the 


2arbone 
The second claim it will be seen is for the combina- 
ion of a cotton #ilsment “that is to say, such a filament 
s that of the first claim within a receiver mado 
sntirély Gf glass through which the leading wires pass 
nd from whith receiver the air is exhausted for the 
nrposes set forth. This sdeand claim appears to me to 
peak fot itself. 

The third claim is also perfectly intelligible 
t is for so arranging the earbon filament ‘that only a 
ortion of it is radiating heat away the anakaeesee it 
aving the heat from once portion reflected on to ano ther 
‘ortion of the same filament thus admitting of a high 
esistance boing obtained by means of a considarable 
ength of the filament without its being nee to the drav= 
nek of radiating an amount of heat proportioned to the” 
ength of the filament as it would do if that filament 
were employed ais’ a straight wire. 
Tho fourth claim is as I have already stated for the 


ethod of securing the platinum contact wires to the car-

on filamont. 
Having now dealt with what tho Patentee has set 
orth in his specification and what is according to my 
hndorstanding of ‘the language, covered by the claims T 
vill proceed to ednsider.— 
F (First). “Whather the matters claimed are in 
cess of thet which is foresh:dowed by the provisional 
pescitin, and I will dismiss this at onee by saying 
that in my opinion they are not in excess 
(Second). ¥ will consider whethor thoré is'suf- , 
ricient instPuction piven to earry out the seeeuta at: 


I believe there is quite sufficisnt instruction ° 


given, but it may be that an objestion will be raised on: 











ne point; and that is as to how the vacuum is to bo made 
in the vacuum lamps. The Patentee states it is to be 
one by a DES OUE TSR but he does not state that after 
the vacuum has been made by the mercury pump a current 
hed be passed through and the making of the vacuun 
hould be continued until no further rednuetion of the 
yacuans SoEAS SOR appears from the passing through of the 
ppreny and‘that‘then and not till then should the re 
ing of thé glass bulb be effected. 

If this objection is raised it sesms to me there ‘are 
two or three answers to it. 

One is that you are told there is to be a “high 
acua”. It may be rotorted that the Patentee says ~ 


that’ the bulb is to be sealed after the vacua as he calls

it, is reached, and that that would be true if the Vabe 
um were nauchéd before any current wera passed through. 
The :reply to this may be that the Patentse must have 
neant, not a high vacuum which was afterwards fons dine 
inished so that there would not be a high vacuuin when“ 
he lamp was at work,but'a condition of things giving 
high vacuum after the lamp was at work. 
Another answer to the objection appears to me 
be bo this.” It cannot be said that even in an exhaus- 
tion lamp: one without tho final exhaustion would not ba 
f anv-use at all. It might be uk very little use 
ut it would be of soma use and toxthe extent to which it 


as of use the carbon filament of hirh resistance 
roposed by the Patentxe would be an improvemont over 
} 


he carbon’ sticks o¥ pencils for the purpose of attain- 


ing the object of having incandescont lamps in multiple 
r@ Without needing large main conductors and wa tnous | 
eeding large leading wirés through tho glass, and that 
therefore the Patentee had shown an improved lamp. 
joreover if I ai right in my view that the first claim 
night bo infringed by a ‘lamp wherein there was not any 
acuous condition at_ all but where a fae: atmosphere 

vas eRe av es. then’ ‘this appears to ine to render ‘the diroc- . 
tion about the continuation : ‘of tha exhaust ion after the | 
assage of a current unnecessary. 

" The third answer whiten is the best of all depends as 


to whether it is readbnable having regafd to the ex~

Should kecp himself informed of published inventions

pspocially when if this workman reads the Provisional 


specification of the Patent 4576 he will find as T have 








noticed in the outset of this report that the reader is

e is tuld that the lamps of the present Patent are of a7: 
similar character except that carbon threads or strips |

1 Specification that there is a prior Specification 
glating to the subject T am in some doubt. 


Many years ago (1862) I wag voncerned in the caso of 










jackelean & Remie wherein the Patenteg who however ap- 
eared in person teu conduct his own case and therefore - 
robably to use a houely expression made a mess of it” 
vas not allowed to refer tu his Provisional Spoéification 
which mentioned that the floating doeks tho subject of 
the Patent might be made of iron. This statement not 
aving been repeated. in tha final specification at all 


nd the gist of his action against Remie was that he 


i . ‘ . : .iron.....

It appears to ine that this decisiun in the case of 


Mackelcan vs Rennie 1s not ineonsistant with allowing | 


Edison to have the bonfit of the information contained ~ 
n his Provisivnal Specification that there is a prior 
atent relating to similar lamps. 

It runs in my mind that I have been informed ‘there 
is a further difficulty of Edison's own creating in this’ 
aatter and that “is that subséquent to his Patent No. 

L5S7G he obtainsata Patent for the application of the 

; nal exhaustion to a carbon filament Lamp.” 

If this beutrue tt appears to me it should not havi 

iny bearing on tho case whatever as no subsequent con- 

ani ay a Patentee ought to effect u patent ha has al reas 

y obtained, but notwithstanding this is so, one knows as 
fact hoe prajuaise de sonietimes croated against a 


atent by the subsequent acts uf the Patentoe. 


(Third)! I will consider whether the Patent 


‘(éldims matters wanting in Utility. 


IT am of opinion that no objection can be sustained 
lon this ground. The main object of the invention 
is everyone must agree one of great utility and the” 


four claims accUrding to my interpretation of them are 


Jelaims which” teldte to matters within the objoct of the 


. patent.. ares

it will ba found that in lamps of very hirh resistance 


indeed this method of coiling will be employed.

and into this merallie closure one of tho leading wires 
dipped. 
The third and fourth claims of Edison it is obvious 


are not in any way anticipated by Kins. 


The Next Specification is that of Lane Fox's Patent 
of 1873 No. 3936. 


There is no doubt .this specification shews that 


‘Gane Fox thoroughly understood the value of an: ineandes- 


sont Siig of high peetetandn: He speaks of as ich as 
100 volts in the conducting wires and he shews that with 
such resistance whe lamps may be coupled in parallel are’ 
(using the sarth as the return) and alse the arrangelieont 


of wires’ for liphting a district from a central source 


lof supply, and-he:states that one of his objects is to 


get high illumination with a very small surface But Nn 
Lane Fox suggests no other material to be nade incandes- 
eent than platinum iridium wire. The vossdT A? usés 
also appears to be a glass vessel with a metallie cap 
eimented on. _ Moreover this vessel was not to be ex- 
iaunbed. but sometimes the atmosphere was replaced by

speaking he shewed himself ignorant of the disclosure 
inade by Lane Mox .in tho specification of his-Patent of 
La7s No. SOBE. Nevertheless this should not effect 
the fact that the Lane Fox disclosure does not anticipate 


any one of the four claims of Idison’s Patent. 


The next Specification is that of Lane Fox's Patant 
jof- the same year 1878 No. 4043. Herein he refers 

to his former Specification but does not otherwise five 
| , 


the reader any notion that the lamps are to be of hifth 


résistuuce. Ho proposes to have the nitrogon filled 


ineandescent lamp of the former patent but to co:t tho’ 
platinum iridium wire of that lamp with various non- 
conducting refractory materials such as asbestos fire 
clay, lime magnesia or steatite or even some vitreous 
Material or a mixture of matorials or he says page 3 


line 21 * I sumetimes vmploy asbestos or othor suitiablo 





“non-conducting refractory material saturated or imprer- 


‘l"nated with same conducting refractory material such 


“for example as’ carbon or iridium.” 

Then he says line 25 to 31 that he makes that which - 
ho calls a bridge of Asbestos rp similar rion-conduc ting. ; 
material impregnated with some refractory eonanetine 


Imatorial stich as carbon or iridium. ~The drawings 


Ishew the bridge to be short and of considerable diameter. 


It) will bouseen that this is a totally different 


mode of using carbon from that proposed by Mr. Edison

Yanely the employmont of a carbon filument. It appears 


fio mo that there is nothing in this second patent of 


Mr. hanes Fox to anticipate Mn mdison. 


The next Specification is again that of Lane Fox 


No. 1122. 1879 No. 1122, This is a “Provisional” only but he 


speaks here of methods of preparing his luminous bridge 


ns he called it in his prior Spécification, and he says 


that he desires’ while having the bridgo with.a resistance 


pf 300 ohms to attain this resistanee with a Bridge of 


sitall size so as to five little surface. He proposes 





i 
1 


to empluy in this Bridge two materials both highly re~- 


fractory unu to be of conducting material such fur ex- 


Lt as pluinbazo mixed or combined in such proportions 


ke give tho desired resistance. 


He also proposes to deposit on the surface of the 


Bridge a very hard film or carbon and to do this by 


passing a current through the Bridge while it is immerséd 


in a dense hydrocarbon. Ye proposes to unite tho “ends 


f the Bridge to a: pioce of Plumbago, or other conducting 


waterial ‘and to make the union by placing powdered 


“blumbago in a part of the mould at the time of moulding™’ 


the Rridpe. 


Lane Fox. 
1879. 


No drawings are given but he says “the parts béfore 


No. 1122. ktaeseribed are hermetically enclosed within a globe 


Page 2, 


Le 17 to 240r other form of glass or other suitable material

through one portion of which the conducting wires are 
“hermetically carriod. From this plobs all traea 
"of oxygen carbonic acid gas water and any gas or va~ 
“pour Capable of attacking or affecting the aearien 
“of the luminous bridge when at 2 high tomperature 
“must be removod.”- 

It will he séen that hane Fox rotains the luminous 
bridge of his prior Specification levs No. 4026 but he 
proposes to make it of two materials on of which such 
as plumbapo shall be a conductor and he sugfests that a 
casing Of ‘carbon may be deposited, , but obviously this 
iamtneRs bridge and its mode of manufacture are entirely 
different from the filament of Carbon with the mode of 
manufacture proposed by Edison. 
| Tt siust be’ taken I think that Lane Fox has. here 
disclosad that the apparatus may he iA a flobe mado 
entirely of Rlass, his former Specifications shewing 
only ‘glass vessels with metallic covers but there is 
nothing in ‘this provisional Specification of Fox’'s to 
indicate that the globe is to he exhausted. It is trun 

as I have quoted that he Says that all trace of oxyfen 
carbonic acidjgas, water or any fas or vapaur capable of 
attacking’ of affecting the material of the luminous 
bridge when at a high temperature must bo ‘removed, 

but this'is perfectly consistant with the suggastion 


that when removed their place. is to be taken by such a

receiver were directed by Lane Fox to he exhausted it 


Fox is not tho same as “the carbon filament of Edison's 
second claim and therefors the combination would not 


have been wdde. © 


Tt will thus bo sean I am of opinion that most un- 





oubtedly Lane Fox s Provisivnal Spocifieation of 79

f Edison's Patent. Noither can it be hold in any”

olumn, but with respect to the fourth claim there is 
n aweeanit approach to similarity in she mode of unit- 
ing the ends of the luminous material::to the conductor

to keep the’ “two” modes distinct as Lane Fox proposes. a

At page 374 Vol. 46 of the Engineer also for the 


year 1870 is a statement of a Mr. Sawyer’s lamp who is 





put forward as a powerful rival to Mr Edison. © Mn '*

Tho last matter from the Engineer with whiet I have 
een furnished is an extract at page 32 Volume 48 of the’ 
ear 879 taken from ‘the address of colonel Bol ton - toa 
leeting of ‘thee Society of Telographic Engineers." Ho is 
peaking of Mr. Edison and of Mr Edison’ s attempt to“ coat 


onductors fur purposes of incandescence. ' 


‘The article goes on to say that this was Hot new

on the 20th. of that month. Mr, Swan there speaks of 
a lecture of about two years prior date, a date there-

LONDON. €E.C, 


DEAR SIR, 
IN REPLY TO YOUR ESTEEMED FAVOR OF THE 10TH INSTANT, WE 
HAVE THE PLEASURE OF STATING THAT THE EXPERIMENTAL TRIAL WE MADE OF THE 
EDISON SYSTEM OF ELECTRIC LIGHT IN OUR WORKSHOPS HAS SUCCEEDED ADMIRABLY. 
WE USED IN ALL 120 LIGHTS GIVING ONE TO EACH MAN. THE EXPERIMENT WAS 
SIMPLY AND EASILY TRIED BY UNSCREWING THE GAS BURNERS AND AFFIXING THE 


ELECTRIC LAMPS TO THE OLD GAS FITTINGS, CARRYING THE WIRES ALONGSIDE THE 


PIPING. THOUGH WE USED ONLY HALF LAMPS, NAMELY S=CANDLE POWER, YET WE 


i: FWUND THE LIGHT GIVEN FROM THEM TO BE QUITE EQUAL TO A LARGE GAS BURNER, 





*~ 


BE MUCH SUPERIOR IN ITS ADAPTABILITY FOR WORKSHOP PURPOSES, INAS= 
“MU H AS THE LIGHT CAN BE TURNED UPSIDE=DOWN AND PLACED WITHIN CYLINDERS 
AND OTHER pinks OF evetiee WITHOUT LOSING ANYTHING IN BRIGHTNESS AS 1S 
THE CASE WITH A GAS JET WHEN THUS USED. OUR MEN FOUND [T VERY COMFORT= 
“ABLE TO WORK WITH, THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE SHOP NOT: ONLY. BEING LESS HEATED 
BUT ALSO MUCH PURER THAN 18 POSSIBLE WHEN GAS LIGHTS ane USED. “ WE WERE 
80 SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT OF THE EXPERIMENT THAT .IN pu. MERY LARGE 
BEW WORKS WE ARE NOW BUILDING, WE ARE PUTTING IN EDISON pues ONLY, A Few 
ARC LIGHTS FOR. THE LARGE SPACE, AND INCANDESCENT LAMPS FOR THE BENCH’ Aue 


TOLL. WORK = AND ENTIRELY DISPENSING WITH GA8 ONE VERY hema ADVANTAGE 


WE FIND IN THE USE OF THE INCANDESCENT E£D180N LAMP 18 ITS Ce BSAPETY 


YS bee 


AND THE GREAT. CONVENIENCE AND SAVING oF TIME 1T 18 TO THE vorwnen, WHO 


ARE ABLE TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS IN AND ‘out AS MAY BE REQUIRED WITHOUT TME

“The Edison Electric Light Company, Limitod, : 
74 Coleman, Street, 


London, EeG.,Sept. 11th, 1882. 


Repnrt .. 
on the 


Condition of Noe 2 dynamo. 


In aceordanes with instructions received froin the 


Board on Thursday last Sept. Gth, that a thorough inspection was 


to be mado of the armature and conmutator of Noe 2 dynamo I pro- 


eeeded on Thursday afternoon to commence dismantling the machina. 


In the first place a series of alactrical tests were made’ 


which seemed to indicate the high probability that the insulation 


of the armatunue was inperfact.e 


It will be in the recollection of the Directors that in 


‘ the repurt I handed them on the accident at Holborn Viaduct, I 
_" pointed vut that No. 2 is not as good a machitie as No. 3. The 


~ commutator of No. 2 machine is not as long as that of No. 3 and 


thé brushos are not as widae Hitherto when Noe 2 machine has 


béén run we have always had mofe trouble with the brushes due : 


to ‘sparking and heating, but this did not lead us to suspect any i 


‘elec t¥ical defect in the machine. We have never run upon it the I 


maximum number of lights, we were told it vonld carry, namely 1000, * 


because we have not had that number on the circuits, but we assumod’ 


that the statements that have been made about it wore correct’ and 


othat “it would if nacessary carry this loade. 


The electrical tests applied to it only showed us that 





cP aE aR a a a Ne eh eee ae ga 























2 


“the insulativun somewhere in the armatuss, or eommutator was not 


“as good &@s could bea desirad but did not snable us to locate any 


particular fault,and wo never had the opportunity of taking, the 


commutator toe pieces, seeing that this would have raquired more 


‘time than is allowed by the interval betwen two runse 


Nothing short of actual inspaetion vould have enabled us | 


to sen whether or not the armature was in a sound condition. 


‘The axperience of August 8lst, showed us that the machine was not 


“equal to accepting the sudden load of 600 to 700 lights throw 


upon “ite = 

On Thursday afternoon the armature vas lifted off its 
bearings, and the commutator separated from the armature. 

A series of careful electrical tests wera then applied 


which showed that the insulation of the bars on the armature was 


perfect, and also the insulation of the plates, but that the insul- 


ation of the éommutator bars was exceadingly defective. It is to 


be noticad that these tests could not be applied until the eommu~- 


‘“tator arid armatures ware separated from one another, and it was 


‘evident that it was necessary to take the commutator entirely to 


pieves. 
The commutator bars having been unscrewed and the in- 
terior disclosed I found a very serious state of things. 


The commutator: bars are separated from one another by 


“niea and the bars themselves are separated from the cap. at the ond : 


also ‘by nica. In the first place the oil used or the bearings B 


had-crept- in under the cap, and saturated the interior and 
























pentrated into the mica. Tn “gne place the mica was burnt away, 
and, a small hole fused out of the irone 
The peneral appearanes sesmad to indicate that the mis-

has always done the work. 
The manner in which the miea was put in batween the 
Plates was not satisfactory, and I am informed that gum was used 
in sticking together tho mica. 
When the machine first came over and I ressived chara

nitric acid; but I have since abandoned the use of this Bat devia

12 th. Saptember! 1882, 


The Secretary, 


Edison “Loctric Light Go. 
74 Goloman St. 


London, Bngland,. 


‘Doar Sirte 


f anly received your favor of PAbh. August. 
I would poant out to you that my estimate’ for a 
80 Lipht plant vas made to ba comparad wath your estimate of nat 


vost uf sano and I in no wise fell anto the error of estinatoing 


“the net cost of a plant “to the Company not even in hondon, but. 


“in Now York, in the case of the Fdison Go. with the gross price 
"gneludang profit charged by the Swan Go.” ‘ 
My estimate was made on the basis of packing and ship~ 


ping 6xpenses on this side“being yaid by me - you being charged 


with ‘the freight and insurance for which’ there is a margin ‘in “the 


‘Gase of the dynamo of £2 16,9, My estimate is simply oné of Gost 
2? ? 7 


*t/@ you in London as comparad with Jour estimate of cost to you 


there, ‘rom a paragraph in one of your letters to Johnson as to 


tho praparation of this estimate I gain the impression that it is 


“your idéa that the estiinate was not carefilly ‘prapared, which 18

very great.or else you would have disvovered that I did comparo 
“like with liko” viz., the net cost of an Fdison 80 light plant 
delivered in London. 

‘I did not mean to give you the imprassion that we can dis= 


pense with eloctroliers - which I allowed for in my estiinatia, 


what IT meant you toe understand was that however necessary wé might 


“the aloctroliers manufactured here it would be better policy to 


uso those mad@ in fngland in order to cheapen our plant, To sum 
up iny figures I would state that where so poor a kes ieachine as 
the Rurgon is used 1t 1S jonsible for you to put in one of ovr 
plants at cost at a loss of about.£ 2, 0,0 where no engine and 


boiler is required, and where your customer roquires the Latter”

than tho Rurgon is used (the Sismens) you can make a gross pro~ 
fit‘of at least 25° per cent, I theréfors. consider yous loud “éom- 


‘platats in your letters to Hr Johnson as to the ruinous Gist’ or

Roforring to your letter of 18th, Aukust te Hr Upson 
T‘wonld remark that tho ten candle lamps sent you war? but samples 
and ware ale by hand and were novessarily very expensive, In 
suéh Gases it ts our practice to charge our customer with one half i 
and bear the balance of the cost ourselves, of course When we 
inake these lanys as regular artieles of inanufacbure the cost

ract fives you any. such 

























‘stead of 100 light machines and it was but natural that I should 





Mricht. At the time the contract was mads the only lamps of reg- 





Feular manufacture were of sixteen and eight candle power for * gen- 


eral Distribution” and “ Xskak “Isolated” purposes. T am now 
working on a 32, 50 and 100 candle power lamps and it would be 
absurd to expect that these can be made at the same price just as 
it would be absurd for me to undertake to supply them at the sama 
price as the 8 and 16 candle lamps.- JT am also working on a higher 
resistance lamp with the object of redueing investaent in conduc- 
tors. This lamp may prove expensive to manufacture and yet aco- 
nonical for your Company to purchase at say twice the present cost 
of our regular lamps. It would be as impolitic for you as for me 
tu have such a one sided arrangem ent as to price of lamps, as you 
assume exista as it could not but deter me from further investi. 
gation in the fear that I might devise a lamp expensive to manu- 
facture but yet economical to use. 

I must protest against the spirit which seems to underlie 
your letter to Mr. Upton and more especially your letters to Mr 
Johnsone My object has always been to endeavor to cheapenthe 
manufacture, increase the variety, and add to the aati Bkanees of 
everything in connection with my system and I must confess to a 
feeling ot abeaspointinnt at finding, for the first time, that 
those associated with my enterprises of Electric Lighting in 
England do not seem( judging from your letters) to encourage my 


efforts in this direction. 


As to the extra “L® armatures sent you I would point out to 


/-you that you accepted the “Lt1501ight) machines sent to you in-

15th, Sept. 1832. 


The Directors of the Rdison Flectric hight Company. 


“Gen tlemenit- 


Lt have made several inspections of No. 2 dynamo 


‘during the time it has been dismantled and have also saan it runnin 


“ginea’ the repairs were completoads I have read Pr. Fleming’ s 


report of the llth, and 13th, inst. 
No. 2 dynamo is now a better machine than when it left 


lire ‘Edison’ s works as the ansulation of the Commutator was then 


‘carelessly made with inferio™ materials which materials have now 


been carefully replaced with the best obtainable. 
It will be within your remembrance that No. 3 machine 


broke down in a precisely simelar manner before the machinery was 


- fully under Dr. Fleming’s care; also, that at an sarlier period, 


before the actual formation of the Gompany I think, an accident » 
once oceurred when the change from one machine to the other was 
being demonstrated. It as to my mind most probable that the 


insulation $f both machines was injured on that occasion. 


qt agree with Dre Fleming’ s recommendation that re 


| (Bdison should be asked to test the dynamos before thay are sent 


bo uss aU a 


T am glad to find that the heating of the bearings which 


had ‘been a har to the continuous running of Noe 2 machine has 


ceased. Tee has previously been used to kesp these bearings cool;' 


“this ig really a ‘desperate remedy only parmissible in emergency; ie 


no ‘remadiablo defect can be detected in a hot bearing the right 


coursé..is to. run Slowly with small load till the evil disappears 














as it is usually found to due 


The practical limit to the capacity of No. 2 machine 
is now the power of the brushes to carry off thea current.

applies to these and I must respectfully decline to give you

that tho position you have taken with reference to the sockets 


-is an entirely erroneous one, and that Messrs Bergmann & Co. have 





not sent you as many sockets as were ordered from them by about 
9000. [If you had desired that no sockets whateyor should be sent

THE EDISON DYNAMO- ELECTRIC MACHINES ARE 







DESIGNED WITH A VIEW TO THE GREATEST ECONOMY OF 


POWER, WE SHALL PROBABLY FIND EVEN WHEN WE REALISE 







THE FULL ADVANTAGE OF A SYSTEM OF COMPETITIVE TEN= 






“DERS THAT THEY ARE COSTLY IN PROPORTION TO THEIR 








OUTPUT. 'N MANY CASES PRIME COST 18 OF MORE IM= 








“PORTANCE THAN ECONOMY OF COAL, 






‘GASES ALSO OCCUR 






(N WHICH IT tS DESIRABLE TO VARY THE CONDITIONS 


UNDER WHICH THE MACHINE WORK S, FOR EXAMPLE THE SPEED 









OF ROTATION, IT 1S THEREFORE NECESSARY TO MAKE A 





CRITICAL leas OF THE MACHINES WUTH A View NOT ALONE 






OF IMPROVING THEM BUT OF PLACING OURSELVES INA 






POSITION OF BEING ABLE TO SAY. eRPOEERAND HOW WE 






SHOULD eh Se A MACHINE TO MEET VARYING CONDITIONS,

SOME AF: THE DETAIL DRAWINGS OF THE MACHINES; IN. 





” 


THE MEANT IMG. WE ARE ABOUT TO PROCEED WITH THE NEES : , 


mOARY EXPERIMENTS WITH THE Z DYNAMO, A CASE IN. 








POINT I8 THE LIGHTING OF THE STEAMSHIP NOW BEING — 






CONSTRUCTED IN GLASGOW BY ie ens HERE {T 


‘ WAS PROPOSED TO USE AN & DYNANO SUNG AT 900 


REVOLUTI ON@: “ortveN BY A STRAP’ To SUPPLY ELECTRICITY 






[FOR 140 or 150 A LAMPS, 















wee. 





DR. FLEMING FIND& THAT OUR PROPOSED CUS=- 


-TOMERS WILL HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO STRAPS BUT IN- 





“S!ST ON DIRECT DRIVING AND THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE 























WE TO DO WITH AN 4, DYNAMO TO CAUSE IT TO GIVE A 
SUFFICIENT ELECTRO=MOTIVE sonoe WHEN. RUNNING AT 600. 
OR 700 sevouurtonel TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION |-.THIS 
MORNING TRIED WITH DR, FLEMING A Z DYNAMO HAVING 
AN A’ ARMATURE BUT HAVING THE MAGNETS COUPLED IN 
PARALLEL CIRCUIT AS IS CUSTOMARY WHEN A 8 ARMATURE 
1S USED; WE FOUND THAT WE COULD EFFICIENTLY RENDER 
THE LAMPS tNCANDESCENT WITH THE MACHINE RUNNING AT 
FROM 800 TO 900 REVOLUTIONS INSTEAD OF 1200 IF THE 
MAGNETS WERE IN SERIES; THIS IS VERY MUCH WHAT | 
EXPECTED TO FIND. THE EXPERIMENT SHOWS US THAT BY 
alneey ALTERING THE COUPLING OF THE MAGNETS OF AN 

L DYNAMO WE CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE DESIRE, BUT WE 
SHALL DO 80 “BY A WASTE OF POWER IN MAGNETIZING IN@. 
“STEAD OF REQUIRING [.1 HP, TO RETAIN THE MAGNETS 
WE SHOULD REQUIRE 4.4, THIS 18 TOO EXTRAVAGANT AND 
WE SHALL REDUCE {T TO ABOUT 2,32 BY LEAVING THE 
COUPLING OF THE PRESENT COILS AS IT 1S AND wining 
ADDITIONAL COILS OUTSIDE OF THEM, | AM NOT WITH= 
“OUT HOPES THAT WE. MAY success IN LARGELY INCREASING 
THE OUTPUT OF THE MACHINES BY OTHER ALTERATIONS OF 
THE MAGNETS, BUT ! CANNOT SPEAK Secaeaty UPON THIS 
UNTIL THE EXPERIMENTS | MENTIONED ARE MADE AND THE 
DETAILED DRAWINGS BEFORE ME. |

PARENT COMPANY. 


Cut down your expenses as far as possible, Dis- 
pense with the services of all Flectricians, or if contracted 
with on salary do not use them, Engage a good mechanical 
engineer who has had practical experience and a fair education, 
one having some executive ability, not older than Olrick. 

_ Sehd him to Ameriva, to learn the business practically and sceien- 
tifically, he to be recalled only when needed, 
i 
& 
% teach 

Permit me to xgxKH @ man here to be sent hereafter to 
England, capable thereafter to determine the net work conductors 
of the general system, as well as small anstallations. 

Salary say twenty pounds sterling per month. These two men with 


what assistants they can obtain can supoerintend any installation 


in England 1 or 10 miles square. 


Arrange with manufacturers in England or Am@rica or 
both to inanufacture for your licensees everything needed, 80 Semen | 
that should you sell a certain area and your licensee Weiete 
to establish a half mile or whole mile area yow engineers can 
work out the whole thingy and from his data the manufacturer 


you have arranged with can bid for the whole work if desirable, 


ae 


Hea NNN HERI AKON OEIC IRICEN IONE II WEX rox

Bergmann & Go. will bid against anyone to deliver ths 
whole of the regulating apparatus and devices at the Central Sta- 


tion, and every kind of supplies for wiring. 


The Electric Tube Go. will bid for the underground tubes 
for a square mile with all the services, and lay the same and del- 


iver the whole over in working order, (except digging and paving). 


The Goerck St. Works: will bid for steam dynamos, set 


them in position and guarantee them 


The Lamp Co. will furnish of course the lamps, or the 
Tube Go. will learn an agent of any manufacture vou desire to make 


your: tubes, they and so will Goerck St. if it is so desired. 


My impression is strong that but one Company should be 
formed for the whole of London, but I suppose that is now impossi~ 
ble,-let them take over the Holborn installation and‘ arrange to 
light’ one half square mile in London. Their capital should 


be small at first, with power to increase as they expand after our 


plan here. The first outlay will be the real estate, 


then the plant can be gradually increased, until the whole of the 


square mile is lighted. Your investment will be gradual and

only made if warranted, but you must prepare your plans just as if 
you were going to make the whole installation, otherwise, it will 
be a sink hole for money. The small stations you are now in- 


stalling will have a hopeless future. 


The Parent Company must do no business, it must act as 
the agent of its licensees, doing all by the engineer department, 
and arrangements with manufacturers for its licenses, that is nec- 
essary to make a complete installation, and men for continuing its 
runnin ge Any attempt to peoaeaeha licensees to. do what they 
please will result in bankruptcy of the licensee, and no future 
profit to the Parent Conpany. I do not believe in the policy 
of taking a large initial sum in money, make it small, take more | 


shareSe 


You have $50.000 invested in large dynamos at Goerck 


Street, we will try and get rid of some of them. 


You have a lot of isolated machinery, we will try and : 
get rid of some of this, but I think you better not accept this 


offer, if it is at all possible to form an Isolated Company. 


You sell lamps to any one who wants them I do not 


believe in this, the policy is bad, it is a small fry business, - 


and will hurt the reputation you will acquire in the future, #£ 

















4 
if the Isolated policy is adopted, people judge by the lamps if 
the engine is unsteady or the dynamo bad; the criticism all falls 


on the lamps. 


You have licensed the British Company to use their lamps, 
I do not believe in this, in five or six years, without you get 


it back in the meantime, you will be immensely hampe red. 


I believe in having nothing to do directly or indirectly 
(whereever such a thing is possible) with any Electric Light Go. 
in England. To make no trades allianeea of any kind or char- 
acter,. - To sustain the patents whenever you have time, to do 


this leisurely and with great previous preparations. 


That if you fail to stop an infringer, never mind, when 
the proper time comes try him on another point. If we are prov- 
ed infringers on any point, I can ateuabiy take care of that, 
“myself. We are getting out new patents. hens patents, 

are Gai drawn, they will probably stand the test, it_is future 
patents that will secure the system that replaces gas with great 
profit. The patents I am daw tekiue Set are more valuable than 
those already taken. Those already taken were to secure it 


possible the science of the thing. Those I am now taking are 


commercial. 

















5 


Never stop an infringer, who is daily losing money by 


so infringing, give him plenty of rope. 


Appoint and pay some one here connected with our Sompany > 
to keep you posted daily in every advance, scientifically and com~ 
mercially; to give you all the experience, data as they come up; 


to gather information for you. 


Sonduet the business of selling light exactly as the bus- 
iness of gas lighting is carried on, their system is admirable. 
Sell light or power only. Sell it on a meter, never sell elec 


tricity, ksep the pressure always on the mains. 


It has been stated that my estimate, already made shows 
that we cannot compete with gas, very well I will make a new esti- 
mat ee. The cheapening process has been going on since that es- 
timate was Made, before you get Legislative permission to open ‘hs 
streets, it i. be cheaper still, this process of cheapening will 
continue to go on until there will not be a place where gas is so 
cheap that the electric light cannot compete with it at a profit, 


if it gets one half the comsumption. 


If owing to peculiar conditions you want something dif- 


ferent or something changed, give me minutely every detail, the, 
. “my

why and wherefore, and I will probably be able to give you what you 


wante 


tinue to do so without any extraneous aid, especially from those 


who said the baby would never be born and when born would never

I have nursed the baby so far and I believe I can con~
